We've misspelled a lot of names on this site lately. Mats Gilbert. Mort Zuckerman. Isabel Kershner. I guess the internet isn't all it's cracked up to be! Apologies to all. And I said we're getting more professional.

One fascinating aspect of computer and communications technology is how it has challenged the rigidity, and primacy, of the printing press. New technology has surprisingly turned almost everyone into writers. People who could not write a ten page term paper using old technology now continuously text on their cell phones and comment on blogs, and it turns out spelling is not very important to them. Spelling was important when literacy was dominated by the printing press. Now that literacy has more to do with html and understanding the myriad technological devices, spelling's importance has diminished.
Very interesting, Tommy. I would add that given the mutation of the American accent away from the English accent, the spellings of words no longer reflect our pronunciation. And, in regards to html, it’s interesting that many programmers (C++, etc.) stumble over spellings, yet are capable of writing clean, coherent code.
Amazing. Tommy has just discovered the principle behind Weiss' success. Antisemites don't care about facts. Just as they don't care about spelling.
The people who do care about facts and spelling are also keeping incompetents, like Phil, unemployed.
Way too funny to make an actual comment. I'll leave this for the laughter to take over. Even Phil has admitted to putting up lies.
As opposed to Chris Berel, who has not yet admitted to all the lies he's posted, and continues to post. Phil makes the occasional honest mistake, sure, but at least he doesn't try to hide it.
Phil makes the occational dishonest mistake quite frequently. He can't hide it. We are here to expose him and his ilk.

occational
Did I make a spelling error? Pardon me. However, I see you saw the truth in my statement.
Berel: You exhibited the truth that just as you don't care about facts, you don't care about spelling. You expose your racist self.
