Sorry... I'm a retired school teacher and spelling is a hotspot for me.
Gives me the nervous hives when I see an error. They don't let you type in
red ink on the Internet, sadly. ;-D


I'm not a retired teacher but I too get the collywobbles at some of the more
blatant abuses we see. "To" for "too" drives me crackers and sometimes one
even sees "two" for one of the others. The American habit of writing/saying
"tell someone who could care less" simply astounds me.
