This thread is a disgrace to the Queen's English.

Bad grammar is Curt's kryptonite. Beware or we will destroy you with our dangling participles and frequent misspellings.

I think it is time we Brits sent an army of spelling-crusaders to the American continent.

To reconquer it in the name of grammar and proper English!

In time you will realize that such labors would be to no avail.

This actually isn't such a bad idea...

Amzanig huh?

That is quite comforting. For years now I have thought that I no longer read but guess the words based on the shape they make. I am glad that it is a cmomn phneonoemn.

That's the way I write nowadays if I write by hand. I have no control over my own writing. If I use a computer or typewriter I do far less mistakes. At least in my mothertongue, Swedish. Being dyslectic I kind of made a breakthrough by realizing that I find the correct sounds on the keyboard, not necesserily the symbols, but the sounds.
But the order of the letters don't concern me at all. Today I just look at them all without thinking what they represent and realise that in this specific context they represent a specific word
