I think I must be a spelling snob. Spelling errors amuse me. I’m not talking about the occasional typos everyone makes, including me. I’m talking about the phonetical spellers of the world. They do their best job to use Webster’s version of words, but there must be a spelling gene that they never got. In a way, who can blame them for going with phonetics? The English language is ridiculously hard and maybe the bad spellers are just faster at moving us all to an easier language. They operate somewhere in-between the Queen’s English and texting abbreviations.
Bad spellers are not dumb by any stretch. Einstein was a notoriously bad speller, although English was not his first language. But a number of famous authors were bad spellers too – Hemingway, Yeats, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie to name a few. Bad spellers may have been tortured in school for their lack of compliance to the conventions of spelling, but I suspect few were held back in life because of it. But 4COL, @TEOTD u should BAO ur spelling. BC BION ur spelling matters. Just .02.
[Ha -- But for crying out loud, at the end of the day you should be aware of your spelling because believe it or not, your spelling matters. Just my two cents.]
I actually love the bad spellers in my life, and we’re good so long as they don’t mind me laughing. Because phonetics really can be funny. And if anyone wants to buy a hamic (or hammock) let me know and I’ll copy this Facebook post to your wall. Don’t wait too long because once the seller learns she has a hammock and not a hamic, it’ll be worth $15 instead of $10.
