A spell of bother
Bad spelling 'should be accepted'
Common spelling mistakes should be accepted into everyday use, not corrected, a lecturer has said.
On the other hand...
'Illiterate' worker angers judge
An angry judge has branded a prosecution worker an "illiterate idiot" after spotting several spelling mistakes in an indictment.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

I'm a stickler on this issue, I'm afraid, John.
John,
Another example of 'excuses for Government's failure'. I am 60 and we were 'streamed' at school; the most disadvantaged could read and write the Queen's English. "Chalk, talk and streaming" worked.
Teachers are drowning in Government 'paperwork'; the losers are the children. SATS create unnecessary pressure, the tests being placed in the shambolic hands of an American company - complete waste of taxpayers money.
I am with James on this!
