As the wonderful Kipler says in The Elements of Phyle, spellcheckers are not proofreaders. Both "shiftless" and "defected", when used in a formal essay, should be carefully eye-checked. Unless you're consciously going for profanity and/or potty humour.

Just sayin'.

In kinda the same same---not a misspelling, but an incorrect word choice.

"After her husband collapsed at the Battle of Monmouth, Molly Pitcher mounted his cannon and contined to fire bravely at the British."
