....and then there are the spellcheck typos, which produce perfectly spelled but completely incorrect and out of context words in texts that have been 'proofed' (drives me mad.) I'd also be interested to know how much the default "English - US" setting on most spellcheckers affect non-US English speakers' spelling, especially when autocorrect is on (I despise autocorrect) - use of "color" instead of "colour", "gray" instead of "grey" etc etc.

gosh, this is rather OT, isn't it?
