On the other hand, I'm a big fan of irony.

Unfortunately for my ego the irony is cosmic rather than calculated.

Actually, I get frustrated with constant mispelling and one sentence paragraphs that some use. We all make typos and being dyslexic makes it even more interesting. Actually, I wish I had a "speech check" too, since I'm dyslexic in speaking as well. That keeps Sam grinning, if not laughing her butt off at what I say. Luckily for me, my family and friends are used to it and can usually decode what I've said.
I may say,"I'm a dumb Indian woman, don' know nuthin." But it's always in quotes and definitelyin jest, except when I look outside on a clear night, at the stars. That's when I think of all of the knowledge in the universe and realize how little of it I possess.
In which case, i would quote for you Anatole France: "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't."
Set, another way to put it is "What's important is knowing what's real, what's not and knowing the difference." "Granny" Esmerelda Weatherwax said this in Terry Pratchett's book "Witches Abroad".

Now i'll get chewed out when my sweetiepie reads that.
Setanta, just remember, half of the people you know are below average.

The ability to come up with only one spelling per word indicates a severe lack of creativity.
Most Elizabethan of you, Brother Ass!
My great grandfather was an Osborn(e) with or without the "e", according to his mood.
