I’m quite a fast typist, and sometimes my words my fingers run away with themselves. It’s only when I get to the end of a sentence that I notice that I’ve spelt something incorrectly earlier on. If I’m working in word then I generally let auto-correct do a lot of the work for me; also if there’s no red line under the word then I tend to assume it was right. In this way spellings like Ares, Areas, Aries and Aires would all appear, to my quickly roving eye, to be correct.

Auto correct will often clean up after me, so if I were to type Aers rather than Ares it will notice that I’ve put the letters the wrong way round and, without a moment’s complaint, put them in the right order for me.

It is only when I get a word ‘properly’ wrong that I get the red mark and, accordingly, the reminder to go back and fix it. Without the built-in spell checker I’d not realize my mistake until it came to the point of proof reading (witch I all ways due rely thoroughly) that I would notice my mistake. Continuing the ‘Ares’ them, this would include the nasty errors like Aeres, Aris and Arez.
