I'm at home and I don't have the APA manual to hand, but there are two sentences that I read to my students. The first says something like, "Most word processing packages now come with a spell checker." The second sentence is very concise & clear. It is, "Use it." As a result I deduct one point for every spelling error that would have been caught by a spell checker. Despite my warnings students still hand in work that was not checked. The current record holder got a -8 on a five point paper.
