Who needs spellcheck?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I'm wdgtieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh, and I awlyas toughht slpeling was ipmorantt!

Besides, we have products that look like they should read UMM! TOE JELLY, Kuiet, Oral Thrills, Teal, Aireal, Say Wha, etc. Actually, it may be more audiophoolish to ban Spellcheck.

What other products come to mind?

But isn't it MORE difficult to write, IF the actual letters in any word MUST be the same anyway -- albeit in "creative" order ex the first & last?

For a moment there I thawt we kood do away wid speling altogether -- strike it from the korikolum, so to speak.

Good one, Rossta

You are on to something. I wonder what else doesnt matter: money, politics, brand of deoderant? If you take a bit longer perspective, say 10,000 years you can easily identify what is important (very little), then begin to move in a bit to 1,000, then 100, then 10 years, then 1 year - it helps you not sweat the small stuff.

10,000 years is really just a blink. All of recorded history would be just the top milimeter of paint on top of the the worlds tallest skyscraper, compared to all of known time past being the whole building. So it really doesnt take long to find the ideal speaker position.

Sorry, jet-lagged after after a winning Vegas trip and haven't heard a good stereo in a week :)
