Lol, don't worry about it though so much here, the only time spelling mistakes matter is when their on the actual artical pages themselves. ;-)

In England, spelling accounts for something like 3-10% of your overall grade at GCSE (can't remember the exact %), you can pass English GCSE without having to worry too much about your spelling. And honestly? That 1% is basically 1% per spelling so if you make 12 mispells its not disaster. 30% of your grade is coursework anyway, so long as your coursework is good and you focus on making the exam piece good enough not to worry about mispellings, even dyslexics can pass GCSE english. Also, colleges and universities only ask for a grade C in Maths and Englsih (and science depending), as well as many jobs requiring english skills... In other words, so long as you have a C grade, things are fine... If not, its not such a hard thing to retake a GCSE, most colleges offer it for school leavers, the paper costs £40 if your retaking it without going to college (though usually the college asks this to cover the cost of the paper anyway). Everythings pretty simple and in modern times of exm results, you can get away with the equivlent of a GCSE grade too, several other papers will give the same value as a GCSE grade C, because GCSE examination isn't for everyone. :-/
