15 Reasons We Need Spell Check IRL

Of all the modern luxuries we have today, spell check is one that we value most.

Seriously, what would we do without those squiggly red lines underneath our slip-ups and typos? How else would we find out that we incorrectly spelled "spaghetti?" What would tell us that we left out a letter in "accidentally?"

For all the beautiful things spell check has done to our word processing experience, it's too bad that function hasn't yet extended to real life. There are plenty of reasons -- too many reasons -- that it is seriously needed.

1. Because tattoos are permanent.

2. Because one day this will haunt you on the Internet.
