I teach future journalists (sort of...) and I'd hate to tell you how often I see something like what Scarlett wrote. On the other hand, I've always known I was a poor proofreader because I don't notice something if the word looks something close to how it's supposed to -- e.g., I'll pick it up if someone writes "awfil" instead of "awful" because an "i" looks nothing like a "u", but I might not notice "awfull" because 2 "l's" close together can go right by me. So I must have some form of typoglycemia, too.

I take no credit for this posting, other than copying and putting it here on Fodors.
A friend sent it to me , so I will pass on her spelling error...except that "arppoiately " being misspelled might just be appropriate?
