In general, I don't have to see words to know if they are misspelled. The books I read, however often have the authors writing in dialect. I have another author who has a notorious problem with words ending with apostrophe s. In these cases, seeing the word in context is necessary. My last text to correct came back with over 1000 errors, most which might or might not be an error. Another example, a character who 'mispronounces' words. In that case, it's a mistake to correct the spelling error, and then when reading it doesn't make sense.

I do however realize that this is a VERY isolated case. I was just checking if there was an option to make that possible.
