Every new and again someone will leave a comment on my blog about my spelling or grand-ma!
Many of us do know the difference between affect and effect but still make such slip up when typing a quick comment and our brains are already on to the next thing... actually, I quite often type as I speak then have to change every word to make it read-able. And several times I have made the mistake of emailing out the first draft of notes instead of the final version - making me look barely literate!

@Sidaway1 @ThanetWaves For you #nightFlights must look like a free lunch - someone else picks up the tab.

@Sidaway1 @adwoodman Not by lining the pockets of an organisation out to take advantage of us that's for sure.
