Sorry for digging up this thread so late but I have over a thousand messages to look through and there is valuable information I might miss since I'm new to the Mac.
Now, I have just discovered another probable source for gross miss-spellings. I am a recent owner of a new Refreshabraille display and while on my IOS device, I can tweet in contracted Braille; problem is, sometimes, VO takes what I intend to be a punctuation mark and makes it a second word or something. In any case, my text gets garbled. Thus I find these errors while proof reeding what I just entered with the Braille display's keyboard. I hadn't realized this could happen so easily so Braille users, be careful when using contracted Braille. No criticism here but just a warning that you might get bit like I almost did. Also, word mode is a good help that helps with quick and dirty spell checking. At least, I can be reasonably sure that my message will sound right with speech:).
