Some posts on forums astonishe me.

But to the defense of the regular spellers that actually know how to spell but simply fat finger a key or type the correct letters, just in the wrong order. I totally understand that, I often type in a hurry and mistype but I know how to spell the word that I mis-spelled

Now Grammer, well I can't be held responsible for that. I failed grammer.
Spelling = Win

I've won a couple spelling bees in the last few years. And before I get flamed for being a big nerd they were for charity.
