Spelling cop

Sometimes I see things spelt incorrectly and I feel like I'm going crazy.

From outside a Montessori kindergarten in Sydney.
'Enroll'?
 It sounds like the kind of thing you do to a child on a wintry morning
when all you have is an enormous shawl.

From Dymocks "Booklovers" page.
We just sell words. No, no, sell... not spell.
Some people might call my spelling obsession and my penchant for punctuation signs of anal retentiveness. But then again the word 'editor' is in my job title. What's your excuse?
