Because the night

Since I should be asleep and getting rest for tomorrow's moving, my body decided to not be sleepy. Just very very tired. And so I got to pondering President Jackson's quote about how it is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word, and all the people on the internet who seem to have amazing minds by that guide.
And I wondered if they have any trouble reading email from people who spell as.... creatively as they do. Or if they have more trouble than the rest of us reading email with more traditional spelling and grammar.

Check as many as you feel apply. Wise elbows who check all of them will be spanked.

"I should have caught the mistake on that spelling bee card. But as Mark Twain once said, `You should never trust a man who has only one way to spell a word'." -- Vice President Dan Quayle, revealing that correct attribution should also go the way of the potatoe.

WOW.
