Spelling, though now neglected by the education system, is more important than ever. If you compose a web page, unless you spell the words correctly, including proper names, they will not be properly indexed by the search engines. If you compose programs with variable names incorrectly spelled, others will not be able to remember them. If you post on the Internet, there is no secretary to take dictation. Your spelling errors betray you as an ignoramus to all your readers. They will dismiss your ideas before they even consider them.

A typo is a spelling mistake where it is clear you know how to spell a work but you fingers fumbled and produced something weird when typing, e.g. that for than. These are not quite as damaging to your reputation as spelling errors, but they have most of the same consequences.

Most word processors, email programs and newsreaders come with a built-in spell checker. You still have to use it. They can’t catch errors such using your for you’re. You have to train yourself to catch those manually.
