Yeah, from now on I'm a manual-er.

A couple things I gleaned from a Writer's Digest article.

1) If you have auto completion enabled (esp. if you're typing fast) it may complete the wrong word than the one you intended.

2) If you do "add to dictionary" (esp. if you're typing fast LOL) and the word you add is mispelled, well, then of course the spell checker will not catch it
