Of course, but if you had been reading Integral's "creative spelling" for as long as I have, you'd have responded with a " :smile: " too.

I've been watching him spell the word "puzzel" for almost 3 years now, and I still crack up when I see it. :smile:

HEY! I resemble that fact! :smile:

I thought I have been very careful with my spell czech for some time now.

Man you should have seen what it was like before I learned to spell! I once spend 2 hrs looking in the i's for envelope.

That's what always used to baffle me when I was a kid and asked my mom how to spell and word and she'd tell me to look it up in the dictionary. "But, if I don't know how to spell it, how do I know where it is in the dictionary?" Now I know she told me that because she didn't know how to spell those words either. One of my friends is a very "creative" speller, as Tom Mattson put it. I finally realized, he types with a NY accent! If I say the words aloud the way they are spelled, there is a clear NY accent to it. It's pretty cool, actually. Well, some are just the wrong word, and I get a good laugh about that too...he used to go to the gym and would tell me about which "mussel" he was working that day. :smile: Poor spell-check never had a chance. :frown:

When I was 6, I promised my teacher I would learn every word in the dictionary as penance for sticking a live cricket down the back of her tube top. To this day, I am very tough when it comes to words through the letter 'C'.

Please consider giving a science advisor metal to Sirus, whose posts on chemistry are remarkable.
