THAT damnedable (okay fine, damnable) word has always given me trouble. Since I spelled “rouge” correctly my buddy spellcheck did not help me out. He doesn’t care if the sentence makes sense or not so long as every word is in his database. I appreciate spelling corrections.

I’m never sure where to put commas but it would likely be too much work to make sure my grammar is 100%. ;)

Yeah, messing up and spelling a word in a way that is the correct spelling for another word makes such typos undetectable by spellchecking aps. The worst, of course, is the word “public,” which, when misspelled by leaving off the L, can lead to horribly embarrassing incidents that would never be caught by your spell checker (particularly if you make a mistake while writing about “public areas”).
