I actually read the Terms Of Service (TOS) on websites where I register. It's that thing you always have to check mark before you download software or register yourself. These contracts are pretty interesting, but the one I read today, on a MAJOR website had a pretty funny spelling goof....
17. Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright Or Interllectual Property Infringement
We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate....
Anyhow, I'm guilty of typos all the time, and I do try to use the spellcheck, but the above goof is, well, pretty bad.

One of my old high school friends has pointed out that I spelled "consumers" wrong in my own profile. (consumres). He suggested that maybe I was targeting a hispanic audience...preety funny, and to think I never took Spanish.
I knew I was dooming myself to a lifetime of typographic and spelling corrections by the Blog readers. My buddy who posted was always a better speller than I was anyhow. Also, I freely admit that I type about 45 words per minute, using my index fingers and thumbs (for the space bar0> My error rate is off the charts bad. Classic hunt and peck that I blame on getting a computer in 5th grade and "teaching" myself how to type. By the time I got to High School and they actually offered "typing" (now "keyboarding") it was too late, I was ruined.
In fact, about 3 weeks into typing, I thought I was going to get a "D" on my report card so I switched over to Chorus, the only class available at the same time. My singing was only marginally better than my typing, and I can tell you that I was one of 4 guys in a class of 40, and the only person to miss choral performances to play on the varsity football team.
Keep the comments coming, maybe I'll be able to track down my typos.
