I’ve always been a bad speller. I remember Mrs. Thompson, my sixth grade teacher, getting up from her desk, walking to my chair, thrusting out her hand, and saying, “Congratulations, Donnie, you got a C+ in your spelling test.

I’ve justified myself by saying that the problem is that I’m rational and English spelling is illogical, but you know that I’m actually not that logical. I have always loved Mark Twain’s observation that any intelligent person should be able to think of at least two ways to spell any word.

Way to stand up for the bad spellers. I know a bunch of smart people who can’t spell, including a great writer who’s dyslexic!
Ur so Kool!
