I dunno. I can spell. You can spell. Their fathers can spell. Wait....
one of their fathers can spell. hahahahahaha. Our mother can mostly
spell. I don't think I've ever seen our father write anything (hmmmm. I
wonder if he can spell?)
Maybe they can't spell because they don't think it's important? :-)

And I also have an adult son, 32, a professional musician with a very

Wow Lori, I want to respond, but don't know what to say. It truly is

My oldest son (29) who has a very high IQ, can not spell correctly to
save
his life, and it is difficult to read his writing.
