So, random thought -- were Americans always this bad at spelling or are we just noticing it more now that everyone's online?

This wasn't a misspelling, it was a misused word. People have been misusing words in their conversations forever. When you misuse a word on an Internet board like this, 100 people see it. When you misuse it in a conversation, only a few people may notice.

And if a word is a homonym (or close), you can't tell during oral conversation if a person used an incorrect word or not. "Not to Segway..." and "Not to segue..." would sound the same.

See...and I would have pronounced it "seg". On the Internet nobody knows I am wrong. In a conversation, people would be wondering what the junk I'm talking about.

Ok, so I'm not missing some new slang. Whew.
