What about grammar? In your sentence above the word preceding "... can't spell..." should be "who". ;-)
It so happens that I sort of agree with you but one has to qualify 'educated'. Any experienced engineer to whom things like this matter would tell you that engineers, despite their level of education, are poor spellers, poor in grammar and even poor communicators. Thus we may be flogging a dead horse on this issue.
Suffice it to say that I was writing my reply on a pocket PC using handwriting recognition software to translate my cursive hand in to text. So I think I can be forgiven my spelling error. AAMOF I am presently replying on the same platform.
Besides I was raised and educated using British English spelling as opposed to (American English) so you may find other words to pick on from time to time.
