I confess I can't spell worth a hoot (except I just did! ) but I had to laugh yesterday reading an article on msn.com about a kid who is protesting that his misspelling of "emancipation proclamation" in Final Jeopardy should've been accepted. He's complaining that he was deprived of possibly winning. Actually there's no way in hades he could have won even if he bet everything he had, but that's not my point.

I was howling laughing reading the comments about the article from people who critisized him for his misspelling, but had misspellings in their comments. Can't tell you the number of people who called him a "looser" or wrote "miss spell" (is that Aaron Spelling's daughter?) Then there was the the poster who kept referring to the "artacal." Don't you just love it?
Thanks for this!
