I, too, dislike typos.  I try to decide if it is a 'typo' or if
the person just can't spell.  A spelling checker will only work for
words that deviate from a common spelling.  THEIR and THERE will pass.

Foreign spellings--I try to overlook the UK and CA spelling.  They can't
help it any more than I can avoid American spelling.  Other foreigners
are applauded for their attempts to use English of either kind.

The worst in-game spelling was 'guage' instead of 'gauge'.  This was
annoying.
