Does anyone have a problem with the Brits' spelling? I think Petra is talking about blatant misspellings.
I tend to have typo's that are not picked up by spellcheck, and I apologize for those. I am trying to proofread more carefully, both here and in my submissions (which have also been riddled with typo's...I am flighty and have too many pets asking for stuff all the time.)
As far as scanning for meter--well, sure, that's why I'm posting. I scan it, think I'm hearing it, read it out loud, wonder if any substitutions are working and worthwhile, and then I post it. And then I am 'schooled,' as they say. I post in the hopes that someone will comment on content, meter, etc. I do not post for praise in my scanning ability.
Spelling issues: I haven't seen many errors, just variants. But I may be suffering from teaching basic learners for so long that I am impervious to spelling errors, or have absorbed common misspellings as correct.
Scanning: I think we are all doing our best.
