Indeed. I did possibly act in too hasty a manner.
It is, however, important to know that %20 of the world population is far
enough to my side of the axis to be labled dyslexic. The inability to spell
properly in an illogical system such as English should never be used for
ridicule, especialy not to adress ones inteligence.
In fact, since my kind is over-represented in the list of mental achievers,
the inability to spell English is more likely a sign of high, or at least
highly unique, intelagence than it is of low or cripled intelagence.
The very act of ridiculing, or even admiting to being able to recognize
misspellings suggests that the person is from the %80 of the population that
is more likely to be unremarkable.
So, Ritu, my sincerist appologies.
