I think it because few people actually read but rather we skim and we learn to identify words by the looks of it. I know when i see the word " Monkey" i picture a primate in a tree..if you types " monkoey" i would see the same thing

A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern an still read with exactness.

I am a fool, and I do beg, to differ.

Bulert wrote on 6/29/2006 10:44:35 PM :

I think that for many people. they are taught how to identify words by how they are spelled, but many do not actually read. Personally i love to read books upon books and i love to write stories and poetry and essays and anything that involves someone kind of creative literature. I am always sent to competions in school against the grade twelve students, and they got beaten by a inty bitty grade nine.

I got that paragraph on a chain latter several time lol

Bulert wrote on 6/30/2006 10:21:38 AM :

Mr Wuddle are you making fun of my spelling? I shall have to get my cowbell out!!!

Its okay sometimes my spelling is simply awful

It's better than making fun of my reading.
Bulert wrote on 6/30/2006 11:27:59 AM :
I do not spell that bad Mr Wuddle!

Actually, Master Bulert, your spelling and grammar are well, let's just say, amusing. They somehow give you that, "oh, he's so young" kind of groove, to those who would adopt you. When in actual fact, to those who would wish for you a gazillion dollar-a-year job to change the world, for the better. To save us old foggies the embarassment of picking recyclables out of the garbage to buy toothpaste...I really hope next year you pay attention to the basic rules of sentence structure and stuff like that.

I ain't perfect, but I try.
Bulert wrote on 7/1/2006 10:51:38 PM :

Maybe i am stupid, but i really did not get what you were saying. Could you re-phrase that? Who wants to adopt me? and who is going to change the world?

Bulert wrote on 7/1/2006 11:17:42 PM :
And "he" cannot be in referance to me, because the last time i checked, i did not have a penis, sorry you must mean someone else?
macdoug wrote on 7/2/2006 8:21:00 PM :
I guess, Bulert, you have read my appologese.
Coming back to the scene, where the battle took place...I feel so small.
Honestly, I did not know. I assumed. You know where that can get someone! Bulert, I am your slave. Call on me to do anything you require. If it is in my pervue and It will be done. I draw. I draw alot. Send me any jpg and I will return it off the tip of my pen or pencil.
I am a man of my word.
Try me.
