Thanks for the affirmation. I was afraid all my elementary school spelling bee victories had been for naught😊

So why is correct spelling such a big deal in elementary school? I was always a good speller, and got lots of praise and recognition for it . . . . now all that seems to be such a waste of effort

looks like the start of a term paper by one of today's students who hasn't mastered spell check

Spelling is important. You can read that thing, but not with the ease of something spelled correctly. It reminds me of something written by a “student” that failed one of my English classes--or something that I see on here once in a great while.

The minds ability is remarkable. In the late 60's I took a different type of speed reading class (not Evelyn Wood). The average adult reads about 320 words per minute. The instructor in the 5 person class I was in challenged us to teach our brain to view letters as symbols. So my goal was to learn to read a newspaper, book, or anything written....up side down. In 6 months, when the class ended, my reading speed was 890 wpm with a 95.6% comprehension. My reading speed upside down was 427 wpm....faster than the average adult read right side up. I'm 71 and still practice reading in both directions.

Many years ago, i recall reading a short story that was written this way by a college student friend of mine majoring in Cognitive Psychology. At first it seemed strange, but after a page or so, it was like reading any other text. Same with what was posted here. No issues reading it. Kind of cool though.

I have certainly encountered writing, sometimes on this forum, in which the grammar or spelling errors made it impossible for me to understand.
