I don't know about anybody else's browser, but when it comes to "reply" fields like this one, this one underlines in red what it detects to be tyops. (Including, yes, that "tyops" typo there.) And people are urged to be careful about the grammar and spelling in their profiles. These are a bit like resumes, after all.
Firefox does that, but Explorer (which most people use) does not. It's really unfortunate that we have no way of viewing our own profiles on eH. It makes it so much more difficult to detect things like spelling errors that we just don't notice when typing in the little boxes (and the boxes they give us to type in for our profiles really are way too small!).

If the profile in question was chock full of typos, I would most likely pass. If there are few....then so what. I know plenty of very smart (even well-educated) people who are bad spellers (and typists!)...lol.
