Any species that can't cope is quickly gone from the Earth, so the mere fact that we're here shows that we can cope. It's more a question of quality of life. If I had the option to live in a place and time where every ten years a hurricane caused $10 million in damage, or a place and time where every two years a hurricane caused $50 million in damage, I'd prefer the former. But I could cope with the latter.
Your spell checker reminds me of a man I used to work for twelve years ago. His name was Jim Schnös, and of course no spell checker had any idea what to do with Schnös. The suggestion the spell checker always gave was "schmooze", which honestly suited the man perfectly. :)
