Option B sounds good!

Muphry's Law. I love it. It's so true.

Not a kiwi are you Martyn?

Not a kiwi, and don't have any sheep fetishes. Just pointing out that a spell checker doesn't assist, if you use the 'wrong word' for what you are trying to say.

I used to work with a guy who made a point of using the spell checker, because in his words he "couldn't spell for s**t"

He still used to put out memos along the lines of

Make shore that you check........

Those of us who know we can't spell just live with it. I used to get asked why I didn't use a dictionary. Simple answere is if you can't spell then you can't use a dictionary. I also know my writting skills will always be sub par.

I couldn't care a less if people can spell or not.

Tony's not a good speller, but he makes up for it in a lot of other ways. He's very clever with a great deal of things, things I could only dream about being clever at.

Not everyone are natural spellers & it annoys me that people seem to think it's such a big deal. I know of people who have tried & tried & tried & tried to be able to spell, but it's just doesn't come naturally to them. It's something you can either do, or can't.

Same with people who are really good with figures, measurements, being able to "see" exactly how something fits together by just looking at it.

Or the same as the way men are much better drivers & parkers than women. Of course, I'm talking in general terms here. However, it's poetry in motion watching a bloke park a dirty great big truck with a couple of inches to spare, in one go, I might add.

So if you can't spell, don't let it worry you. It doesn't make you any less a person than anyone else.

Well I can't spell either, hence the use of technology. Obviously it's not fool proof though! I'm now going to bed to sulk.

Don't you dare go to bed & sulk! I'll bet you can list 20 things that you're really good at that other people can't do! There's far more important things in life than being able to spell!
