Priceless - thanks for a giggle. Tell me about it - I once worked with 40+ engineers - but I can tell you doctors aren't that great spellers either - and on top of that they tend to write in a way no living soul can read too! R's message reminds me of a scrapped page I once saw with a little boy holding a handmade card for his mom - heartshaped, handcut and ever so sweet - with the text: Mom - you're the beast! =0) I am sure she loved it nevertheless!!
Love love love it! When I taught 8th grade, there was a really short (one page) story I used to have the kids read silently as a warm-up one class early in the semester before I introduced the importance of spelling. I could easily tell which kids "got it" as they read silently. Then I read it aloud with the right (er...wrong) pronunciation. In the story, the boy loses the girl because of his spelling error in a note.
