Subject: RE: BS: Shakespeare: Henry Neville?
the thing is your ladyship, we're all getting on a bit on this site and we've realised we don't give a stuff about spelling.

when I was a young man, a young lady wrote me a love poem and she spelled separate wrongly - she spelled it seperate. and me being an arrant snob and hoping for preferrment from hoity toity folks like yourself, I dismissed her declaration of love out of hand.

this proved to be a mistake. and anyway I ended up as lowly folksinger, singing songs by buggers most of whom probably couldn't spell for toffee.

let this be a lesson. do not blight your own life by concentrating on how stuff is spelled rather than the message itself, and its sincerity.

all the best
