The real mischief with spell checkers arises when a typo or mistake

Nobody could create a spell checker that would save me. Grammer and
spelling were never my strong suits. Most of the writing I did was in
technical reports or proposals and nobody that read them noticed or cared
much. In engineering, if a word doesn't exist to describe or explain
something, you just invent one.
