'Speeling' or 'spelling' ? why it's important to get it right

In the modern world , we often communicate using rapid typing on small keyboards with predictive text viewed on tiny screens . It's a recipe for frequent errors , but does it matter ? ? No one cares about good spelling . My spell checker puts everything right in my messages , I always use it . ? How often do you hear these kinds of opinions these days ? Are they ? Let's take a look at some current advice .

Let's be clear , some spelling mistakes are and can even be funny but , unfortunately , many are not . A little spelling error can be and confusing . Take 'your' and 'you're' for example , it will annoy many people when used incorrectly . In a similar way , using 'there' when you meant the possessive 'their' can lead to the receiver questioning your education level . More seriously perhaps , poor spelling can create , loss of meaning , and even in extreme cases , a missed sale or job opportunity .

Spell check programs , on the face of it , may seem the clear solution . However , the use of them appears to have resulted in a new problem . As most of us know , spell checkers sometimes correct spelling to a different word from what was wanted . If you don't check carefully , then the error goes unnoticed . This autocorrect can result in some amusing mistakes , even in official reports . One White House press statement recently talked about 'peach' in the Middle East , rather than 'peace' . The lesson is : there is no easy solution , you have to learn how to spell correctly .

Are you sure that it really matters to most ordinary people , though ? The answer is a definite yes . For example , research has shown that many people become once they spot a spelling mistake on a website , and will leave the site because they fear it is fake . Million dollar legal battles have been fought because of a single missing letter in a contract . In some cases , the to spell can prevent you from getting a job as more and more companies introduce writing tests for job candidates .

Spelling skills are required more than ever it seems . Many customer service enquiries come through online message boards or by social media . This might be the one and only contact that a customer has with the company , and so the quality of the reply , the use of language , and correct spelling are really critical for the image of the company .

So , while the rules of grammar and spelling may be when writing to friends on Facebook or WhatsApp , it is far trickier in a business letter . It is better to be correct and risk appearing than it is to try and be cool and end up upsetting somebody because you've made an error that they have a negative feeling about .
