That's it Sham!

There are people who'd say that in order to play music you have to be able to read it. It's a lie, and one of its effects is that you have children and adults who can play and read, but who are scared stiff to play unless they've got a written sheet of notes in front of them. And all the others who can't read and daren't begin to play. (And I'm not denying that being able to read music is extremely valuable.)

For a lot of people, you have to learn to do something before you can begin to learn how it is you do it. And with other people it's the other way round - and a lot of the problems with teaching and learning comes because so many people (teachers, parents, politicians) seem to assume that the way that works for them is the way that works for everyone.

And Escamillo, with Spanish spelling you don't really need a spell checker. You've got spelling that is consistent.

(The trouble with spellcheckers is that you can get to trust them. And then you find, for example, you've written "I will not help you" when you meant to say "I will now help you.")
