Well.. on this vanity you can find lack of capitalization and punctuation.

Or spelling, huh?

from the Flick Filosopher:
The movie consists, mostly, of a series of flashbacks covering the ten years prior to that historical circumnavigation, when she has affairs with the publisher George Putnam (Richard Gere: I’m Not There, The Hunting Party) — who invents her in the eyes of the media — but to whom she is wary of making any “medieval” vows of faithfulness, and with the aviator Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor: Angels & Demons, Cassandra’s Dream), too, who shares her passion for flying. She doesn’t hesitate to love both men at the same time, and you can have all the debates you want over the rightness or wrongness or the fairness or the unkindness of what she did — is it “cheating” when you’ve made no bones about your lack of desire for exclusive loyalty? — but this was who she was. And this is what the film gives us: her idea of autonomy and independence that is so intrinsic to who she is that there is no question about it in the film’s mind.
That — the assumption of autonomy, whether your idea of autonomy is the same — is a luxury rarely accorded to women in our pop culture, and it is wonderful to see here.
dialogue:
George: But all the money from this will go to Mrs. Guest.
Amelia: Except for the part that goes to you…
George: Well, this is America… and therefore I am obligated to make as much money as I can…
Amelia: How much fuel do you lose because of these?
pilot: costs us at least 400 gallons…
Amelia: well, then why have them?
George: the owner wants to protect her plane in case you have to ditch it at sea…
Amelia: but those are decisions I have to make, not somebody else… they’re not making this trip, we are…
George: But she owns the plane, and this is still America, Miss Earhart… Ownership is the trump card…
pilot: Sad to say, but dollars put planes in the air…
from a letter written by Amelia:
In our life together, I shall not hold you to any medieval code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly…
Minister: Amelia, do you promise to love, honor and obey this man…
Amelia: excuse me, sir? may we take that back a bit, please? Love, yes, if it’s warranted… honor, same thing… obey, I can’t promise that under any circumstances… but the groom understands that…
George: please remove “obey” from the prayer so we can wrap this up before the bride runs off…
