I find spellcheck utile for using foreign languages, especially when doing lexicographic work, which confirms a word’s existence. Nonetheless, I have experienced instances where the corrector suggests words which are clearly distant from my intentions. Sometimes I misspell out of simple ignorance, but perhaps more frequently from lapsus digiti.

A mere spellcheck is inadequate for dealing with valid forms but incorrect usages. I seem to subconsciously confound ‘interested’ and ‘interesting,’ ‘you’ and ‘your,’ ‘me’ and ‘my,’ amongst other terms, and the errors do not become apparent until I reread my own messages. Even on public projects, these issues can remain undetected for considerable periods of time. When the message is ‘permanently’ recorded, it’s almost dolorous for me, absurd as it may sound to you. I tend to proofread messages that I will post publicly, but even then, there exists room for error.
