I admit, I don't check spelling enough when using Lotus Notes.  Recipients of my emails must think I'm completely stupid, which I am, and that explains all the misspellings.  To avoid accidentally looking like a dope, set up Lotus Notes so it auto spell checks emails for you.  I wrote a post that explains how to get Lotus to check the spelling in your email automatically. Please read it if you get a chance.
