Quote:I never had any large respect for good spelling. That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters and also added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a doubtful benevolence to us. - Mark Twain

But at least we shall all be treated to grandly revealing variant spellings of the third person singular pronoun until the kerfuffle over politically vs. anatomically/genetically correct is resolved. Perhaps it never will be... what fun!
