Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Yes, that is neat and very interesting how all of that can be read and understood without a problem. I see this two ways (and I'm not the greatest speller ) however, I still feel spelling is very important and should always be taught in our schools. More and more, words are being condensed with text messages. Overtime... people will not know how to spell most things correctly. Some kids cannot even do arithmetic unless they have a calculator. Some kids cannot even tell time unless it is a digital readout. Some kids cannot even read unless the words have been shortened.
One the other hand, I see progress... a new world in which everyone will be able to speak and write the same language !! Some kids can use a computer and text message with their eyes shut !! Some kids are actually "Pros," but, what is happening ?? Does all the above really matter ?? Do we, as Americans, really want this to happen ??
Slowly, but surely we are becoming lazy, cold, and selfcentered. I hope we soon wake up and smell the roses.

Hmmm.. I better validate and reindex the site's database, looks like some of the posts are getting corrupted... :wall:

:huh: Ah-oh.... I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulacity uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.....it's a taotl mses... cnt slpel ether...

So, if I was able to read that whole thing at a fast pace, does it mean I'm smart?

I assume that we can only read the jumble once we have mastered reading and spelling the correct way.

The Lopez's and Guerra's wouldn't have a chance in this town then.......
