"Commonest" is debatable - I put in one or two such mentions to see if they were picked up.

Chris, quoting in support a translation from a language which is strictly regular is a tactic I'd expect from a SEO expert

English is a really odd language. Many bloggers will not be aware that they are making mistakes.



All this and a free rewrite service

Now like every browser has the feature to find out spell mistakes, so this is no more of a issue.

So lets critique the grammar!

for "spell mistakes" spending a term at Hogwarts would serve you better, as here they are spelling mistakes.


"Now like every browser has the feature"
More of a American teenager remark than it is English, so to be nearer English it whould be

"These days almost every browser has a feature to check for spelling mistakes..."


"no more of a issue". If the word following the 'a' begins with a vowel, 'an' should be substituted for 'a'. So the statement should be "no more of an issue"
However "no more of an issue" implies a comparative rather a definitive so should be followed by an example of something that is equally insignificant.

To be a definitive statement "no more of an issue" should be replaced with a phrase that indicates or applies a temporal distiction ie: "is no longer an issue" or "is an issue no longer"

Spelling checkers are indeed ubiquitous, though sadly not as often used as they might be. They won't help you with homonyms though, and they won't help you with an amusing guide to commas.
