Everybody should be careful about spelling. In this modern world, with spell-checking provided for free on the web, there really aren't excuses for spelling mistakes.
Take this one for example:
× Our confectionary is famous for turts with pure natural ingredient, Camembert.
◯ Our confectionery is famous for tarts with pure natural Camembert.
The funny thing is that "turts" looks and sounds very close to "turds".
● turd 【名】〈卑〉（一塊の）糞、くそ、くそ野郎、げす (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
Some might ask "why can't we say 'a pure natural ingredient, Camembert'?"
The reason is that if you say that, it sounds a bit like the only pure natural ingredient is the Camembert. That means the other ingredients are artificial and impure. That's no good for a food product.
If you are purely and naturally bad at spelling, use a spell checker! It's easy!
