Yes! This happens to me all of the time.
I know for a fact that any and even all mis-pelled words are due to the
spellin chker not working corectlly.
Not onley that, but after even my editor editor makes corrections for I, and
I do implement them changs, the save function does not always save the
corrections.
Worse part is it only seams to efect me, and no my co-working people.
This results im my looking like a technicle riting fool.
