Re: Effect and "impacted"
@veti “kids who are too cool for spelling”
So, when my teachers were calling me thick because I could not spell. They really meant I was the cool kid. That’s nice to know.
I went to school in the 60’s, we had spelling tests as described by Jean Le PHARMACIEN, no amount of practice resulted in me remembering the spelling for more than a few words. Couple of days later I would have forgotten them as well. Corporal punishment did not seem improve my ability to spell either.
I still can’t spell, and nothing is going to change that, it is something I and others are not able to master. But whatever the reason it is not because we are too cool for spelling or lazy (as some of my teachers said).
Thank God for word processors with spellcheckers. Meaning not being able to spell is no longer the problem it was in the past.
