Either way, but if you'd selected the B option, I'd still be asking you what you meant. Words mean things, and spelling and orthography are part of meaning. (I don't give a damn what E.E. Cummings thought. Never did like his poetry.)

My brother had a language professor at Universtiy of Michigan who was a strong believer that spelling was not important as long as the meaning was understood. I wonder how widespread is this belief?
