All this reminds me of my college days. We were required to have a physical dictionary during keyboarding class to edit with (the automatic spellcheckers having been disabled). I used my father's old dictionary, which had been his Canadian mother's before him. Between the Canadian spellings and the out-of-date spellings (it had a lovely picture of Princess Elizabeth, future queen of England) I was able to prove 90% of my typos were correct.
