It is however, rather easy in most cases to see the difference between a typo and a poor spelling.

We can't often use typo as an excuse when we use 'there' rather than 'they're'. And, as over 3/4 of typos are due to the adjacency or close proximity of keys (e.g., 'poinr' rather than 'point'), that too allows us an additional tool to distinguish the too from each other. (intentional joke for make the point).

Working in an industry where everything on my co-workers' desks gets a first round proof, a second round proof, and a final proof has led me to believe that the typo is less common than imagined, and poor spelling skills much more common than imagined.

I would think the more well educated a person, the more pride they would take in their ability to communicate effectively and efficiently, regardless of the medium.
