And therein lies the rub. When is a spelling mistake a grammatical
mistake (eg. lived/lift) and when is it a semantic/lexical mistake
such as you listed below as a accent issue. If I say 'He lives' when I
mean 'He leaves' I have changed the meaning. There is a serious
problem is granting 'hitamut mi-sh'giyot k'tiv' when what a student
writes completely changes the meaning.
Moreover, many kids with this hatamah/hatavah don't even attempt to
distinguish among words. It's not a genuine help for them, as it can
leave them in the dark...
