She knows the difference between 'sweet' and 'sweat'. Yes, 'sleep' and 'sleap' I always mix up... and 'speak' and speek'. I am not sure why. But I ALWAYS use spell check and carefully read my documents before sending them (especially if it is for work). Now I am worried I spelled something wrong in this comment.
