Spell Check and Typing

So, I am not the most accurate typist there is.  Many of my typos are "dyslexic," meaning that I interchange letters.  Most word programs correct that for me, and I have become lax with spell checking, although I try to remember to spell check these posts before I release them

The problem is, I used to be a very good speller, but now I am a lazy speller.  Especially for words that were always questionable to me. For example, I can never remember if occasion has 2 c's and 2 s's or 2c's and 1 s or 1 c and 2 s's. Well, I used spell check so I have it correct here. But that has always been a problem word for me.

The other thing I do is put spaces in the wrong place.  So "the neat man" might become "then eat man." Which of course, makes some or little sense.  Depending on the word program I am using, it might point out the syntax is incorrect, it might not.   

The point is, spelling is a skill like so many others.  If you do not use it, you lose it. I read a lot, so that helps me with my spelling, but I have to work on consciously being aware of my spelling.
