By the way, spelling errors are "faltas de ortografía". So a message like this we would title "Ortografía". "Deletrear" is of course saying the letters that make up a word one by one, something we rarely do except for proper names. In most cases we would say, for instance, "¿cómo se escribe abeja?" and the answer is "sin hache y con be" (or "be alta" in some areas), the remaining letters are evident. We rarely demand, expect or receive a full spelling.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling "deletreo" didn't sound right.
I used to always say "¿Cómo se escribe?" until someone who was allegedly an expert chewed me out for not using deletrear I will now switch back to what I've always suspected was right. :-)

I forgot the file name that identifies the tags, but
immigración -> inmigración
Numero -> Número (not all of them)
You are right, of course. Fixed now, thank you.
