Eliseu, Yeah, we're kidding. Well, I'm kidding. I think we all know back in time that if you could write, you were lucky. Many had a lower level of literacy (better than nothing), but spelling was lacking for many. They tried. And I know it wasn't just the Azores. I see it with earlier American records too. And then there are always those people who aren't good spellers. It was funny growing up. My dad loved to do the TV Guide crossword puzzles, but would ask me or my sister how to spell a word. We'd giggle and spell it for him!
