Now now, we must remember that he is probably a product of our public education system. As such, he has learned:
- His feelings are utmost, and take priority over obsolete concepts like standards of character, personal property, and good manners;
- Adhering to spelling standards is an outmoded concept, haven't you heard? Forcing him to remember all of those rules has the potential to bruise his concept of self-worth (see #1 above). "Creative spelling" is the new norm;
- As a corollary to #1, self-expression is the highest ideal, and must be respected in all forums.
