I am appalled at the spelling I see everywhere AND on Free Republic. If anything is said, people go crazy. No one will tolerate correction anymore.
Correct spelling is something that can be fixed, corrected, or edited for content, ahem.
It has been a very long time running joke about ‘spellchecker’ programs, and now, too, the usage of programs that ‘guess’ to complete the word of intent.
There is one point of focus that has been overlooked. It is the combination of:
a baby boomer;
coffee;
steadiness of hand;
location of keyboard, whether in lap or on desk;
finally, the frenzy of attempting to communicate the enormous feeling and flow of thought at a speed that defies ‘guess checking’ and/or correct placing of fingers, without always hitting the *&*^%&$!! backspace key!
