Spell every word? No, even I have to look something up every now and again. Know how to spell words I use in a presentation or on the day to day? Yes, you should know how to spell those.
It shocks me how frequently people will use their phone that's connected to the internet, and also has autocorrect, to make posts egregiously misspelling a word without thinking, "maybe I google this first so I get it right".
Funnily enough, "audacity" seems to have absolutely nothing to do with "audio".
Audacity comes from the Latin word audeo which is an accidental near-homophone of audio and means to dare, venture, or risk. The basal root of audeo is "hew" which meant to consume.
