I have to say that my "spell check" gets it wrong more often than it gets it right. And I'm a really good speller. You have to really monitor it to make sure that it isn't misinterpreting your intent. I'd venture to say that many of the "misspellings" are the result of "spell check auto correct". I am aghast at some of the choices offered when I "check" the spelling of certain words. The choices offered up are often not even real words and not even close to the intended meaning. And grammar is not even taken into account in most instances.
Still, I grant that there are many offenders out there/they're/their who have no idea what they are trying to say/spell.
Small towns in North America are the worst. There is a small town in my province (Saskatchewan) known as Weyburn, and its newspaper is constantly riddled with spelling and grammar errors.
