Wud yu read this artcle if it was ful of speling mistaks ? Ofcourse not. Incorrect spelling are not only limited to personal life, but unfortunately also exists in business applications.
Now-a-days most of our writing is via a word processor like word or using mobile phones. And they already have features built in to highlight spelling mistakes and even correct them using autocorrect feature
