TRiG (Ireland) A dog, so bade in office Posted Nov 16, 2011
I was in a remedial English class in primary school. It did me very little good: the other three children were there because they couldn't read, and I was there because I couldn't spell. I got nothing from it.
Becoming interested in etymology certainly helped*, but my spelling is still uncertain. (Oddly, I'm fanatical about commas and apostrophes, and have been known to correctly use semi-colons in text messages, but I still have trouble spelling.)
I'm in an Internet Cafe at the moment, and the computer is set to some other language, so almost every word here has red underlines, which is putting me off even more than usual.
TRiG.
* I remember seeing my sister writing /benifit/, and correcting her: '/Bene/, Latin, /good/."

It is hilarious...if you take it in the correct vein. So, get innoculated against SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation, And Grammar) foibles by taking a shot atit.
