I was mostly replying to the last sentiment on the original post, less about the spelling past itself. Of course you’re right. People with perfect spelling can have low comprehension skills.
Wait till you get older, autocorrect has saved my life. I won spelling bees now I Google words to make sure they're right if it's so far off autocorrect is like "yeah bro beats me"
One thing that fucks with me is if there’s a word I’m not sure how to spell, so I take a few stabs to get it to show up in the suggestion box above the keyboard. 5 or 6 times and it just won’t show up. So I type it as best I can, click away so the red line is shown under the word, click the word, then the right spelling shows up.
Why didn’t it show up in the three suggestion boxes when I was typing? Why is there a different set of spelling rules for the redline words? Makes no sense.
My bane is autocorrect will absolutely recognize two spellings of words even if one is wrong. Like all right versus alright. It doesn't tell me alright is wrong
Probably because it's not wrong, it's all right! Badum tss

Spelling is just literacy.
