I'm proud to say I get all of these right most of the time, but I still have to use Google on what should be very obvious and easy to spell words... It seems like sounding out words used to be easier to do as a child, now I sound it out and can't spell certain words right to save my life.

neccissary... ****!
neccesary... god damn it!
neccisary... mother ******!
necassary... HOW THE **** DO YOU SPELL IT!?
necessary... There, finally. ****!

So does Google Chrome. Thanks to your post I just now realized this bastard tells you the correct spelling if you right click the word...

At least those are all just misspellings/typos/incorrect usage of real words. The absolute worst are all the dipshits using "would of/should of." Christ, I want to reach through the monitor and tear up their high school diplomas every time I see that.
