About spelling errors: I recently read an article in The Times (I occasionally buy that to keep my English skills somewhat up to date) that the human brain can easily overlook spelling mistakes.
Apparently, our brain looks at a word in total, if the letters are switched around it doesn't matter, our brain will still recognise it AS LONG AS the first and the last letter don't switch places AND all letters are still there.
Typing
"The boat fastened steadily towards the harbour exit"
as
"The baot fastneed steadliy twoards the hrabour eixt"
then doesn't make a difference, our brains can still recognise what it says! Fascinating article.
