Proofreader wanted

On a tangent, there is a book out titled "Albions Seed" that documents the four major folkways brought over from the U.K. One of them, the Borderers, settled west of the colonies since they couldn't get along with the others and have gone on to evolve into one of the mainstays of extreme right wing culture in this country. One of their proud distinctions is the disdain for proper spelling (as seen on their protest placards) and total lack of respect for authority.

From the reviews I've read, it goes a long way towards explaining our cultural roots and differences. It's on my list of what to read soon.

Rja: I haven't heard about abolishing writing but I HAVE heard about
not teaching cursive writing.
Maybe we should just print all capital letters?
(upper case and lower case is such a difficult concept!)

I've also heard about abolishing cursive writing and would like to know which group of idiots came up with that idea or whether it's another false meme that grew legs.

Cursive writing (handwriting) is but one of many methods (exercises) which instill an understanding and appreciation of words, their origins, art, text and content, as they all go together to form ideas, thoughts, and imaginings. It's a actual, real time, tie-in to our collective pasts and acts as a foundation to base our communications.

If it is true, some despair is in order.

And all this time I thought it was a lack of education causing the spelling errors. I had no idea it was an additional form of protest. Idiots.
