What seems to be lacking in a lot of cases is the ability to proofread our own writing. Or, perhaps, what is lacking is the desire to proof before sending. Depending on the setting, sometimes I am more likely to take a second or third look than other times. I naturally read very carefully, which slows me down a lot, but renders text that looks at least fairly intelligent.
Spell check is a tragedy, in my eyes, in that it has made the resulting text much harder to scan for errors. If your text contains 'has' when you meant 'had' (a simple typo), spell check will not catch it. And because you feel safe having run a spell check, you probably won't catch it before sending your message.
