Guys, I'm tellin' y'all. If you could only read the stuff I have to on a daily basis. It gets me so depressed. You've gotta laugh or you're gonna cry. I don't think they teach spelling in grammar schools anymore. I have some students at the beginning of each year that don't even know they live in the United States. Try getting them to spell Louisiana when they can't even spell Texas. I have 2 of them that still want to call it the great state of Taxes. How about Alhamaba or Misippi? Oh, and the perennial favorite, Flordia. Heck that was misspelled on Rod N Reel dot com for over a year until I finally complained to them to change it.
In 3rd grade, it's funny. Later it just becomes sad.
By the way, Jr. year I was the La. state spelling bee runner up.
