Oblivious or general stupidity?

It’s so annoying when you’re talking to someone online, and the word they’re trying to spell is right there infront of them, and yet, after many attempts, they still don’t get it! Whether this is on an online game, or even an IM client, people seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that a person who can obviously spell the word correctly has just spelt the word totally correctly, and yet they continue to spell it wrong! What the hell!? I mean, if this is happening on IM clients all the time then it makes you wonder; ‘do people even bother reading messages properly?’.

Edit

I wonder how many people can actually spell “Saturday” and “Sunday”. Purely because you get practice at spelling the rest of the days of the week when you’re in school. I bet a lot of people spell “Saturday”, “Wednesday” and “February” wrong. February simply because a lot of people spell it: “Febuary”, and Wednesday because a lot of people spell it: “Wendsday”.
