What Is Spell Check for, Anyway?

Recently I Googled the name of a person I’d never heard of before, and found an interesting comment, not the least bit enlightening. The researched name appeared in the dedication of a book, but in a rather mysterious way. I just wanted to know why. The comment I located accused this author, whom I was reading, of “plazerising” someone else’s work, possibly in a memoir. The least one can do in accusing another of plagiarizing is to spell the word right.

The name I looked up had only one notation of its use. That was in the dedication in the book I was reading. More mysterious than ever. Life stories can be complicated.
