Shoot, I couldn't resist. :-)

I am brilliant, but ecclectic. And I have forgotten a LOT in the last 40 years.

Besides, 12th grade standards are pretty low now.

Seriously, my daughter IS brilliant, but an abysmal speller. She recognizes that and, though improving, makes liberal use of spell checkers.
