who cares about spelling if you can read fast? :)

Found this while wandering about the net. It is a genuine advertisement.

My curse is to see spelling mistakes everywhere, except in my own text.
(That isn't to say I don't make spelling mistakes, I just find it hard to pick them up in my own text.)

Was more thinking that when you speed read your brain is mroe likely to fill in the correct blanks for context - the first time I looked at the ad I saw speed, but I knew there was a mispelling so I went back and looked carefully. But if I were to be speed reading, maybe my brain would gloss over such things in order to retain amximum input in minimal time...
