“my speling is imaculate”
NO you’re speling is KNOT immaculate!
actually, I’ve had a thing about spelling since grade
school, probably owing to the satisfaction that I got when
it always turned out that the final two spellers in EVERY spelling bee were me and a Filipino Army brat in my class
named Ramon Sabordo.
I’ve also often wondered why some people I’ve noticed on game shows like Wheel of Fortune simply can’t see the word puzzle when it’s staring them in the face with only a few letters missing. I came to the conclusion that they just hadn’t exposed themselves plain and simple to the written word enough. Otherwise the puzzle would simply reveal itself. I once got a ‘famous name’ puzzle with NO
letters showing. A four letter first name with a nine letter surname beneath it. I blurted out Jack Nicholson~
My wife was astonished when that’s what it turned out to be.
Wonder what happened to ole Ramon Sabordo? Think I’ll google him.
” I came to the conclusion that they just hadn’t exposed themselves plain and simple to the written word enough.”
Wouldn’t that be better rendered “it’s plainly and simply obvious that they just hadn’t exposed themselves to the written word enough.” ?
Also, “probably owing to the satisfaction that I got” is weak at best; it should more properly be “probably owing to the satisfaction that I felt” instead. It’s plainly obvious that while your (sic) a Spelling Nazi of the first order, you’re (sic) grammar could use a bit of shoring up.
Now, feel free to lambaste me over stylistic differences of opinion!
