We don't need to agree to have an intelligent conversation Ryan. You know that. Also, I'm personally Canadian, and I care about spelling, I think it shows a level of intelligence that, for anyone capable of spelling (yes, I know you are), is an important step towards showing good will and interest in the conversation. It forsters healthy debate. If noone gave a shit about trolls, why is this thread already at some 20 posts? You're not seeing clearly. |
I'm a horrible speller. And it has nothing to do with intelligence. Sometimes, people like me go the first 8 years of their life not hearing correctly and spell like the hear. I had speech class and everything when I was little, but the spelling never changed and my ears never truly got corrected till i was nearly 13. Even till this day i still have a hard time with spelling and spell better on a keyboard. Due mostly to mussel memory. Get me in front of a pen and it's all down hill again. So in short, spelling ability isn't directly linked to intelligence and you can see why it ticks me off a little when people confuse the two.
