For students, spelling is the most useful activity of the grammar classes in everyday life. They are exposed to a number of stimuli due to the diversity of the linguistic constructedness of texts and discourse on the internet. Therefore, the development of spelling skills at school is even more crucial today. The first part of the study discusses the potential functions of spelling mistakes in internet communication. The second part introduces exercises where spelling questions can be discussed with shared content in social media and thus conscious language use can be strengthened.
