Spell Check doesn't help with words like break and brake. Both are spelled correctly. Stake and steak are both spelled correctly, but you'd only want the one for dinner. It gets more confusing with words like rite, right, and write. Englush are cornfuzing.

I agree. If you have a spell checker but use the wrong word, it makes sure you spell the wrong word correctly. And guns have sights to aim with, not sites. The worst example of homonyms that people get wrong is probably there, their, and they're. Another one is your and you're. I've seen
several posts online of your stupid. It doesn't do any good to ask your stupid what? or to point out how stupid they are. I also see an incredible number of people saying would of when they should be saying would have. They must not know the difference between would of and would've.
