After receiving 4 reports of how my misspellings (or misspellings in my life) are upsetting people (in less than a week), I have come to the realisation that computers and science have destroyed my literary abilities.
or at least, they have destroyed how much I care about language. I have to admit that I have let my spelling ability lapse since I started doing everything on the computer. It is not that I don't know how to spell the words, it is just that I don't think about it as much when I am typing. And, if the communication is informal, I often refrain from using the spell check.
technological crutches - they are somewhat ubiquitous. That, in itself, is an interesting discussion, which can be saved until later.
I guess, based on this deluge of criticism, I will have to throw the crutch away. No more spell check for Matt. Just pure, unadulterated ability. to spell.
Thanks Sahm, Sam, Pat and that asshole tristamshandy9000. god, do I hate that asshole. good thing I don't allow anonymous blogging or I bet that guy would be all over this place.

I like the fact that you now are probably writing your posts in Word and then copying them into here.
isn't it tristRam shandy?
Indeed, but this has little to do with the fact that "tiniest" is not spelled with 2 n's and has an s in it.
