Perhaps Paul and I should teach a few lessons in the lost art of writing a coherent paragraph!
This leads me to a topic RazorX and I recently discussed. Does Spell Check and similar programs improve or erode our ability to spell?

I don't see how it could do anything BUT erode spelling ability. High school students today are already some of the poorest spellers in this countrys history by the daily examples I see. It may also fall in line with some info I gained at a recent graduate course in Speech and Language. It seems that as a result of constant use of computer and text messaging, handwriting is seriously declining to the point that many students cannot even read cursive writing. Seems spelling would go the same way for similar reasons.

WOW!!! i hope that my "special" messages using "text-like" words r not offending anyone. this is NOT a high school english class or an assignment that we have 2 turn in & b graded. i assure 2 u all that i am a very capable speller. i was always either in the top 3 when it came 2 spelling in grammar, jr. high, & high school. i always made A's & B's in english classes. i always made good grades on my term papers & research papers in school. like i said if u ever c me writing whole words on my posts than its either i have been #1 kidnapped, #2murdered, or #3 very sick. and if #1 or #2 has happened... please send the fbi 2 florida 2 help with the investigation. this site is supposed 2 b fun but if my "text-like" posts continue 2 b offensive than i will leave this forum. my "text-like" ways is my "personality" when i post on this forum or when i write 4 fun BUT if this were a business letter or college term paper than: I would write in whole words and sentences. anyways.. just my 2 cents.

Hawk - this is not aimed at you; rather at the concept in general of spelling and appropriate usage of the Queen's Tongue.

The funny thing is that I actually read this correctly the first time. I had to go back and look at the words to realize you scrambled them.
