Famous Worst Spellers
For all the fancy education I have, I am still, by far, one of the worst spellers ever.
I don't quite know what it is, but I really don't seem to care...never have....always figured there'd be some little editor somewhere to fix things for me.
If I want to get psychoanalytical about it, perhaps it has to do with a mom who always picked up after me.
I know there is spellcheck, but I rarely use spellcheck because, more often than not, it wants to replace my misspelled words with improper or inappropriate words. Spellcheck can't keep up with my vocabulary. I don't think words like flummoxed are in the average spellcheck program anyway (spellcheck wanted to replace it with "plumage"). So, I don't bother.
But I don't think my bad spelling interferes all that much with what I'm writing about...y'all get what I mean anyway.

I'm an atrocious speller, I can't properly define post modernism, and I have yet to master the comma.
There...I feel better now.
