Don't feel bad, Ron: nun of us is perfict when it comes two speling.
That's the good thing about sitting around a kitchen table. When you talk, you don't have to spell the words.

As evidenced by other threads, some folks can real supercilious about their command of the English language. It's a way of expressing your superiority, which seems a little sad, to me. I value people more on whether they have something valuable to say than if they use perfect English saying it. And, so much is dependent upon the family and social status you were born into. (OOOOOH, I don't think I used "born" correctly.) next thing you know, I'lll split an infinitive! Some of the wisest, most generous-hearted, delightful people I've had the honor of knowing in my life have had a very limited education. It's not their grammar that I hear. I hear what they have to say, and the wisdom of it. My brother-in-law only went through 10th grade, and his speach showed it. His Father was an itinerant carpenter and he grew up moving from town to town. His speech was never a barrier between us. I've always just felt blessed that I had such good English teachers. I still remember much of what they taught me, but I must admit, I don't sweat an occasional split infinitive or a misspelled word.

It's the seasoning in conversational stew.
