text: what is it these days? do they not teach spelling in english class any more? i just can't get over how many people don't seem able to spell words correctly. even allowing for all the folks for whom english is not their first language ( and by the way i think all of you who fit into this category are amazing because the only foreign languages i have learnt a little of are french and german, and a little latin!) and of course typos which we all fall foul of, there are so many english speaking folks who just can't spell! a good example is the word tongue - i have seen this word spelled 'tounge' more times than i have seen it spelled tongue!! what do other people think of this? i realise that i am probably just being a stickler! thee probe lime ice stew dents deep end an there spill chick or.  oh nurse! of spill chick ore’s due knot veal thee kneed too now two spill.  they should still learn of course.  it would be a nice...  jester.
