Is Spelling Still Important?
Apparently not. It was found that the sequence of the letters in a word is irrelevant; all that matters is that the first and the last letter should be correctly placed. This must be great news to dyslexic people.

Now I can understand why they don’t teach children to spell anymore. Why waste their time on unneeded skills? And maybe we should inform Microsoft about the new spelling rules so they can adapt their dictionaries accordingly.
Relax!! It is Friday.

I for oen am not sure abuot the spellign iehter
No bother that. No one will even notice.
Hi Catfoot
I alse used ti get dizzy, but that was before I went on medication for high blood pressure.
But it is amazing how easier it gets with a sentence or two to read all that what seems like gibberish.
Have a nice weekend Cat.
I love curry & rice. The hotter the better. If I ever get to your part of the world and I don't get my curry & rice, there will be big trouble.
Since you are
apparently the
the human spell
checker in the
the place, can
you find the
problem with
this comment?
And how many
times did you have
to read it before
you spotted the
the problem. Did
you count how many
times it happened?
I did make some mistakes here. Not spelling errors but an error that most spell checkers can detect.

Three times you missed it.
And once I read it
I am a spelling pedant
* Occasional typos excepted and accepted.
Did you find all three occurrences?
I can spell, but I cannot type. Hence all my typos.
But as I said, my phone makes me stupider.
I am agreeing with Dreamer
Geesh! I'm a feeling dizzy after all that. lol
This reminds me of a non-related, but perhaps similar situation. Back when the rap music started and all, when teens started wearing baggy pants, big t-shirts, untied shoes and all.. I thought to myself, "Hmmm, why even put sizes on clothes and shoes anymore? The kids are buying them big or any size anyways. Just throw a pile of clothes out there, they'll wear them regardless."
Interesting blog.. although puzzling. Have a good day.
I did not trick you. I never said anything about spelling errors. I asked you to spot the problem s in the comment.
Also getting dizzy? Looks like some of you must also take high blood medication. I have not been dizzy since taking it. It is a bit of a schlep to take a tablet every day and every night bit it is worth it. Hey, come to think about it, I have not been hearing the little voices either since on it. Maybe I must get off it to get some new inspiration again.
Ja, ja! I know you are the Spelling Bea.
Its Been Said!
Smoking weed is good for the High blood pressor too. Just saying!...
Voices! Nope! He talks to me with his body...
When I was a toddler, my grandmother always used to say that I should become a lawyer. And my glass of wine wine is not virtual, I only poured it a while ago.
Spelling, capital letters, and punctuation are entirely optional now. As long as men have mastered lol, they are fully edimacated and can rite 2 all the woman they pleaz. Lol.
Quite frankly, I don't fancy my chances with prescribed medication at all.
And when last did you study a doctor's handwriting.
They write like this in any way.
In the rules of decent writing, I still respect and admire the proper use of the words on spelling and writing. Sure we will have a change on some of these established rules but why murder a perfectly good way of writing?
I don't bother reading the blogs of some people who murder these words...but that's me, there is no crime committed, I guess.
Good blog Cat.
Finally, I can read it.

Why do some people call you legs, I have never seen people using the middle part of a CS handle.
Wonderful!! See, you can do anything if you try hard enough.
Actually, spelling is always important to me.
Hope to read your up-coming blogs with real ones.
Real what? Spelling errors?
I thought for sure this blog was going to be how the youngsters nowadays have their own vocabulary. It's annoying but perhaps it's a thing of the future.
Can't spell? No problem. Just start your own vocabulary!
AN 1N73R3571NG BOLG...
It is not just our youngsters. Even older people are guilty of it. On the blogs it is easy to see who spend some of their time texting.

As the old saying goes, call me anything you like. Just don't me late for dinner. I mean it. I'm a terrible cook. If anyone else is cooking, I want to be there.
which most of us can.
Is that the way to make it go virile is to tell people they're special,
because they can read it.
I could read it, but didn't like it.
I shudder to think what would happen if this caught on world-wide.
What would become of our great books? Of our doctor prescriptions?
thiz haus relle gawt mi wered.
(Gosh its harder to misspell than spell!)
