It is spelled correctly. Incorrect word given the context, but the spelling is accurate.

This from the "essay tips" at my daughter's college:
Spell check will not save you! You must proofread and edit beyond using the spell check function.

Yep...it is spelled correctly so would not have been caught. Unfortunately, there is not a grammar check.

Actually MS Word, OUtook and a number of other word processing programs have and will check grammar. That is not a grammatical error, that's a human "lack of proof-reading" error.
