I'm about a fourth Mexican (my mom is half mexican) and I would have to say that knowing Spanish has taught me to spell better. It's easy for me to sound an english word out in spanish and spell it.

actually, you probably noticed that some of us couldn't get our spelling "correct" not correctly. And if I were Mexican, I would put forth an effort. I always use spell check, but there are some times people have a typo, and do not realize it. I also know that I write in Spanish better than my Hispanic husband does. He grew up with Spanish, I learned in school and constantly correct him. So why do Americans spell better in Spanish than Hispanics do? To say you're not being offensive usually means that it IS your intention. Because if not, then why ask the question ? Why not say "why doesn't anyone use spell check?" You purposely brought up this point to rouse some angry comments. Good job.

Some of us just want to get it typed and entered quick as possible and don't worry about typos. Some people are just bad spellers, but might be better at math or science. Don't sweat the small stuff. As long as I know what someone is trying to say it doesn't bother me too much. There are a LOT of mispelled words by the pro-illegal group and the aliens themselves. ("Mexicans" is supposed to be capitalized...not trying to be offensive or anything)

Thats a lie out of the pits of hell.
If a person spells bad and has correct grammar then there is no problem. Sometimes typing isnt so easy for most people.

The answer being because they're not so lazy, nor as complacent.
Rant appended:
a) I'm pretty sure you can't tell someone you're not being offensive. That's their perception, not your instruction.
b) American English is so garbled anyway, how can you tell? COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR, darn you!! Favourite, trousers, rubbish, bin, and car boot to the lot of you.
c) Are Mexicans illegal? Darn, I'm going to have to flush my stash.

The word "mexicans" in your question should begin with a capital "M", not a small one.
Use spell check.
If you are going to insult this country, try making it in Mexico.

Because our school funds are disproportionately spent on ESL students and not on those of us whose parents paid the taxes to fund the schools?
Just a theory...

That's no different than me helping my hispanic friends spell in Spanish when I was younger. They could speak it but not write it and I had taken Spanish classes.

Could be that they are smarter than some Americans but THEY ARE STILL ILLEGALS AND STILL CRIMINALS. Ones spelling ability doesn't make them good or bad but their ability to be a contributing member of society does.
