makes me sad. i may not be the brightest bulb in the box of bulbs, but i like to think that i am a fairly intelligent guy. The kind of guy, perhaps, that you could have a nice discussion of religious philosophy with right after an intense round of shin-kicks. or somethin'. the kind of guy, perhaps, that does not misspell words all the time. the words i misspell are often hidden so craftily in my sentences that they do not reveal themselves upon proof-readings. suddenly, as i read over my previously released work, they take off their victorian masquarade masks and dance an illiterate jig around the grave they force me to dig for myself, in the rain.
it bothers me that much.

dear dan,
ReplyDeleteLife After Michael is indeed not as bad as i thought it would be at first.
spelling does not reflect intelligence, espesh in the english language because all of these words are crazy and have their origins in totally different orthographic traditions. i mean, misspelling a word is kind of like if i was walking around with my shirt on inside-out; it's kind of embarrassing, but it's not like i don't know how to dress myself, maybe i was in a rush or something. no one even told me my shirt was on inside-out, i had to look in the mirror to find out. um. hypothetically.
i guess what i am saying is don't let it keep you from writing in your web-log.
sincerely,
marge
p.s. this is long maybe? so now it's a letter and here is a post-script.
May I invade your space to point out that it doesnt really matter as long as ya gets yer point across. Hell, I misspell my own name, damit.
