Hilarious! I can see that it does!
This is an interesting tip:
"One of the best ways to catch spelling mistakes is to look at the document from end to beginning. When reading normally, your eye/mind will sometimes make the logical connection between words even though they are misspelled. You can read over a mistake and not even realize it. Reading from back to front forces the mind to deal with each word individually."

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Did you know there is even a special program to find misspelt listings on eBay?

(and this stupid spell checker doesn't even recognize the word 'misspelt' !! It suggests Misspent, Misspell, Miss pelt, Miss-pelt)
