I am fifty seven years old, and I made my living with my hands... In my younger days I once held a pin on the end of a pin, and with the help of another man with a hammer backed it out of a hole it was bound up in; and in the process, and with it being an upper cut with the sladge hammer, he missed and bounced that six pound beater off my hand... And it bounced, and I bounced iron off me many times, and of all my body, my hands took the worst of it for thirty years of ironwork...
I double hit, and I miss letters all the time with my index fingers, especially, perhaps because they simply do not hit as hard as I would like... And I am a terrible speller on top of all... It is not bad that I make mistakes...Never knock yourself for mistakes... Mistakes are easy to make, and to not make mistakes is difficult... If you knew how far I have come in my spelling you would not bother me as I would not bother you... I can still do pushups on my finger tips as on my knuckles and wrists... I was a better man in my day than you could be in ten life fimes and when I die it will not be without having lived a full life... So answer the point if you can, and save your ridicule... I have a dictionary in my head, and it is not simply to keep my ears apart... I know the meaning of the words I use, but considering the limits of my formal education, I am not doing bad... Considering the work I have done, and the injuries I have survived, I am doing great... I double punch as often as I under punch, but I usually catch the doubles sooner, for some unknown reason... And I am still living... As Ani Defranco said: We barely have time to react in this life, let alone rehearse... To spell well takes practice, and it is only out of an extreme need to communicate that I take any time to talk to you... No one is paying me for this... And you clearly do not appreciate the knowledge of my life time... So why bother me???
