I'm sure this news is important, although I just can't figure out why.

They taught me to spell in school. I think I'm going to choose to not forget all of it.

People think I'm dumb anyway - why give them more ammunition?

Although I am not a scholar I try to spell as well as I can.

I couldn't believe that can be read fairly easily.

It doesn't always work that well anyway. You're okay if you've got simple words, but anything longer is difficult.

What's pamcpehraooia, for example? (No using an anagram solver!)

Then you've got words that are anagrams of each other, like salt and slat.
