Part of what makes spelling difficult is that even though we have rules, such as "i" before "e" except after "c", there are just as many exceptions to them. As stated, it does take practice and you do have to care. I'm a pretty good natural speller but I still always look words up in the dictionary, just to be sure. I guess today it's not as important as it once was. Texting certainly has created a new vocabulary and a new way to communicate.
