GUEST,Peter T. Mudcatters are losers (50) RE: Mudcatters are losers 27 Jun 00


Well, actually, I give a shit about the nuts and bolts of the language -- anyway (meaning more or less, in any case, versus any way, which means in any version or direction), I don't remember any cases where we picked on people for their bad spelling or typos -- it was always picked up as the starting point for a joke, or spinning the thing a bit more. We currently have a marred "married" which is getting the gears. But when it comes down to it, spelling is not crucial unless it messes up what you are trying to say to other people. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the greatest American novel, and couldn't spell at all -- he was an unbelievably bad speller, but his thought processes were crystal clear.
yours, Peter T.
