Hi Ann,
I think I learned to spell by both phonics and learn braille patterns. I
remember seeing the word something contracted, and when I decided to spell
it out in second grade, I spelled it s u m t h i n g. My error was
explained to me by my resource teacher. After making that mistake, I
figured that sumthing by that spelling would be an addition problem.
Certain words give me problems, unless I think about them: barely and
occurrence are among them. Some words are modern such as configurability.
I don't know if I'm spelling that right.
I have learned the limitations of spell checkers. I was in a work situation
where we used an old version of DisplayWrite for the IBM System/36. When I
ran the spell checker, I got woodpecker for WordPerfect.
I am also annoyed that MS Word always want braille to be capitalized, which
is in conflict with a BANA rule most of the time.
When Ithink of brands that it took me some time to learn, one is QWEST.
That just doesn't look right. How about Chick-fil-a?
