When I went to school spelling was very important and the only spelling we would have been allowed was licence. An error of one word in a test of 50 would lose 2 marks out of ten. In other words correctly spelling 90% would result in no marks.

Now with spell checkers only speaking American we have lost our old ways.

PS I receive emails from an former highschool teacher and she rarely gets more than 90% of her spelling correct. Even with the spell checker!
