no, just because a person misspells something does not make them stupid. I have seen some very smart people and even some teachers that misspells some words. It is easy when you are typing because your fingers can go faster than what you want them to, and you can hit a wrong key. If someone told you this then they were being mean and are wrong...

It depends on how many misspelled words accidentally make it into a single sentence. Also syntax, grammar and punctuation. You'd think a person concerned about looking stupid would use the spell checker provided. That they don't calls intelligence into question in a big way.

No, not necessarily. Lots of people make typos. Myself include.
But after reading the other questions you have asked, I'd say you really need to work at it. I'm not saying that to be mean. You asked a question, and I'm just answering it.
Try using your " Check Spelling " more often. That should help you.
Peace !

It just makes them to lazy to use spell check or pick up a dictionary. There is a big difference between ignorance and stupidity

No, of course not. In that case its known as a typo. Everybody's entitled to them once in a while. When a sentence or paragraph is riddled with misspellings I tend to think otherwise.

Of course not, then I'll be the King of stupidity on Earth. You meant accidently, don't worry you're just a princess.

No, it just indicates they are crappy at spelling. I know a very intelligent man who can barely even read, let alone spell words. I am pretty bright as well and sometimes I misspell.

It depends on the context. If they do it on an internet forum like this, it shows laziness, inconsideration and ignorance. Communicating clearly is part of being an adult.

Not really. Some people just lack attention to detail. When they can't put a coherent sentence together, then they're stupid.

No, just not observant.
Unless the entire post is rife with misspellings and bad grammar, then their intelligence is called to question.
