Mis-Spelling

Yes, I am the first one to admit—I do not always know how to spell. And spell checkers can’t do it for you all the time (after all, if you choose the wrong word; spelled correctly…).
Heck, read some books and you see that you are in good company
Still, a great many readers of blogs, books, et cetera complain about the bad spelling of the authors. For me the funniest was a comment in a blog containing spelling errors—but complaining…
Anyway, many people overlook a few things:

Anyway, many people overlook a few things:
- The human brain can easily over read wrongfully spelled words and still understand the meaning.
- Many languages (like English, German, Spanish, …) are spoken in more than one country. What’s right in one might be wrong in the other. Just think color and colour! And even within a country - the same word can have different meanings in different areas.
- Misspelled words can help with search engine placements. Just remember that most of the times when you search for something and you misspelled—you still get a result.
I actually know people that purposely spell wrong—because the results they are getting are better.
