You young guys misspell so many words, I forget the true spelling and my
declining memory doesn't help either.
Many people born after WW-2 don't know how to spell. It's because of the
"whole word" learning system adopted by many schools back then that enriched
textbook publishers because schools had to buy from the same publishers that
had the "next" set of words. Phonics is better but schools should actually
go back to the old McGuffeys Readers which simply taught syllabication. Of
course, with everybody texting, the Queens English will soon be a dead
language.
