I use the Cramner abacus, and have never at all in my life used a
calculator, my friend. Prior to using the abacus, I used the British Taylor
slate to calculate. A properly written communication illustrates care was
taken to write the communication. It implies the same care regarding the
person to whom the communication is sent. It can be analogous to a man
sending his wife, or his best girl friend, or his mother a fine diamond, as
opposed to a zircon. I am told the average person can't distinguish a true
diamond from a zircon. But, there is a difference in cost. If a man is
prepared to spend the money on a diamond to give to his loved one, it is
some indication of his love and of his devotion. It is the same with a well
written piece. Proper spelling and correct grammar is the showcase, or the
frame, housing ones ideas. The presentation of the ideas to another
demonstrates the author took time to consider carefully not only the
content, but also its presentation to the gentle reader. Each of us
deserves the very finest another can give to him. Each deserves nothing
less than the finest others have to offer. Because each is the pinnacle of
Gods creation. Regardless his intellectual acumen. Poorly written
communications imply less than this was given. The English language is such
a beautiful language. Filled with subtlety. If used correctly, beauty and
artistry can somehow glorify the most mundane ideas. Putting inn a
beautiful and a marvelous display case. Forcing them to be regarded and to
be given extra consideration. From which grander ideas and thoughts might
spring.

Hi.
I'm sorry it hurts you so much to see poor spelling. I used to feel the same about girly magazines!
I spent all of my life embarrased about my poor spelling until I was told that I had dislexia. I was told this when I held a very senior position within my Local Authority. I had thought until then that I just could not spell.
So in a few words: Get a life! Why are we not as judgemental about mathamatics? Why do students use Calculators and not seem to get the same critism.
At least blind people like me have an excuse!
I really don't understand why poor spelling would upset someone like you so much.
Very best wishes and kind regards
Andy Logue.
From Scotland with love.

Hello,
It actually hurts me, like, properly hurts, when people at my age don't give a damn about spelling, and you have to rude to them to get a proper, understandable, sentence out of them.

I actually think spelling does matter, whatever your age, but each to their own I guess.
Kind regards,
