Hmmmmm......... could there be any doubt about that last ???

Musing upon spellings can sometimes be an interesting pastime .. but probably not as interesting as practising. After all, I've got to get to grips with playing the thing with two hands, haven't I?? (No rude comments, please - in my case I'm probably waving and not quite drowning - sorry to Sylvia Plath for the misquote)

What does musing upon spelling gain me ??
An occasional argument or interesting debate on the vagaries of the English language, maybe.

All of which, of course, is vastly off topic...
