I strive to perfect my spelling so that my words can offend with substance and not with style. My current nemesis is its/it's. Every time I find I have misspelled a word, I type it out 10 times until I'm sure I've memorized it correctly. I think everyone should strive for nearly perfect spelling because we live in an age of electronic communications where the written word is more important than ever.
