Carelessness, mostly. Every browser has spell check, and people who don't have strong spelling skills should use it - hell, they might even improve their vocabulary. I, myself, use Grammarly. It's free and works automatically (as long as you're logged in). It works not only for spelling but helps to improve punctuation skills as well.
