And still is for most. I'm a horrible speller, but fairly consistent in my mistakes. Usually I use the wrong vowel with a similar sound in the middle of a word.

And still is for most. I'm a horrible speller, but fairly consistent in my mistakes. Usually I use the wrong vowel with a similar sound in the middle of a word. It's amazing how few spell checkers can handle that. The google search bar is the undisputed king in spell checking in my experience. Microsoft word, even from way back, has been good. Thunderbird from about a decade ago was the most infuriatingly bad spellchecker I have ever encountered. I always recognize the correct spelling when I see it. So, in Thunderbird it would commonly refuse to suggest the word I was looking for but would often give me the "un" version of that word. I mean, come on. I can get the first letter right 9,999 times out of 10,000 and that is probably a gross underestimation. And the few I would get wrong are a handful of edge cases...
