think about it a little more

Do I think conscious is spelled conscience? Do you really think that?

Not knowing how to spell a word suggests a lack of education. Knowing how to spell a word, making an error and immediately correcting it is simply a typing mistake.

Correcting myself literally 5 seconds later after double checking my post obvious shows I know how to spell it.

Byproduct of typing 100 wpm. I occasionally substitute in the wrong word.

Nothing to do with intelligence.
