   you just nailed the exact reason why spell checkers are only one part of the   
   equation... grammar checkers are also highly desired... some grammar checkers   
   use a spell checker as they run but generally, it should be a two pass   
   scenario... one for the spelling and one for the grammar... the grammar pass   
   may turn up additional mis-spellings which can be corrected then ;)
