I heartily agree that we quit with spelling corrections.  I personally
can't spell worth a damn without (or sometimes with) my dictionary.  
One of the reasons for this is that English does not follow the "rules"
that it purports to use, and having no rules you can only spell those
words whose spelling you can memorize correctly.  Now I don't know about
you, but I don't have memory cells to waste on a working vocabulary of
any size.  I run spell on some of my articles, but not all.  I accept
that I can't spell well and live with it.  I also have the following 
sign on my wall:
