The truth is I've never been able to spell. Maybe it's that English is a hodge-podge of a language, with loan words from French, German, and every other language available. Maybe it's that I'm a scatter brain who can't remember anything. Whatever the case may be, automating the whole process has allowed me to focus more on the business of writing instead of looking up words.
There are things that spelling checkers are no good at. In particular, a word that sounds the same as another one, but has a completely different meaning. For example: affect vs. effect. I've always had trouble trying to figure out which of those words to use, and spelling checkers are useless for that sort of thing.
Never the less, I think that spelling checkers are one of the Good Things(tm) in life. Also, given that I can't think of anything else to blog about, they make a good topic.

You are so right about it being a blessing but you still have to be careful and glance over it when finished! I am thankful it checks for my typos. I always hit some keys too fast and it looks like a mis-spelled word. I only had to fix 5 typos in this short message. Ü
Merry Christmas!
I'd be lost without mine!
I'm with you! Spell check has rescued me from way too many nads and tehs than I want to think about.
