It wouldn't matter today, Bill. When I see how children are leaving school, barely able to spell because 'Spell check does it for me' I'm told. They are allowed to use them in schools now, so what is the point to learning? This peice of yours shows it up, too. Mind you, I would have struggled with that word!! :)) Sandra xx

Thanks, Sandra. I suppose spellcheck is easier than summoning a goat god.

Just a tad! Lol. I'm going to do a bit of writing now, I'll be back reading these later. They are really good. You should put them into a book.

Spelling difficulties has often spelled the downfall of many aspiring writers. If you don't spell every well, it will come out whenever you try to share your writing with others. It is very hard to make a good impression when you are making multiple spelling errors.

A real fun one, this.
