I used to have a student job at a media house (if you think journalists  
can't spell, you should see the captions photographers write). There was a  
strong resistance against spell checkers from both journalists and copy  
editors. The culture was that somehow a spell checker insinuated that you  
didn't know the language well. The result was of course a massive amount  
of typos.
