I Can't Spell?

Over the winter break, I was just writing my college supplements and I realized something. I couldn't spell certain words. I spelled definitely like "definitly" and different as "differrent". I was shocked by the fact that I forgot how to spell such simple words. But then I began to look at why. Why do I have such stupid spelling errors? In fact, forget just me,  I know others who spell terribly, probably worse than me! "Speek" instead of Speak, "weather" when they mean "whether", "collage" instead of college. It's really ridiculous. But what I realized was that these errors primarily come up because of the new tool on our belove computers: SPELLCHECK. Spell check checks whether your spelling is correct, and people these days begin to rely too much on it. Instead of hearing someone say "oh, I spelled that wrong so let me check how its actually spelled", I hear "don't worry about the spelling and grammar mistakes, Spell Check will do it for ya". It's pathetic. We're seniors, most of us are 18, and we don't even know how to spell simple words. Clearly, these computers and SPELLCHECK are making us stupider.
