We are supposed to watch an Electronic Design video on the basis that
John Larkin - who can't spell semester - thinks it includes a spelling
error?
to the point where he couldn't be persuaded that "there", "their" and "they're" were different words.
His insights were worth having even if his spelling was eccentric.

I think that John was simply pointing out there's a spelling error in
the title of the article (and the URL for that matter): "Time
Synchronization is Crucial in Modern Electonics"
Electonics? At least get the title right!
One of the better engineers I've known was hopelessly dyslexic,
to the point where he couldn't be persuaded that "there", "their" and
"they're" were different words.

Perhaps, and errors of that sort won't be picked up by a spell checker, although a grammar checker should. I've never understood why people
can't be bothered to use the spell checker built in to most, if not all,
news clients.

A spelling checker is welcome to highlight what it thinks are
errors, but the current fad of interactively auto-completing or auto-correcting my prose is a royal nuisance. Those 'features' are
sure to change the meaning of what I was trying to write. I always
switch it off. Too bad if that means that the occasional error
will slip through.
Spelling checkers are a nuisance when you often switch language,
too. I trust grammar checkers even less.
