<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Dear Ron,
Lowlanders,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I don't
know if you will allow a purely gut reaction to the ORTHOGRAPHY thread of
Heather and Sandy. One thing was that I always spelled by the book, even when
little. The other thing was I couldn't stand anybody telling me how to speak
English, because that was my language, already. All I needed was my father's
(the Methodist preacher's) precise, stentorian tones as a model, although I
didn't recognize it at the time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">In sixth
grade, Miss Pitkin taught me to diagram sentences--the only time I thought any
of them taught me anything</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Later, in
high school, I hated the English teachers and their failure to inspire me with
the content of literature, or to write much of anything. Accordingly in college
I studied a lot of literature: English, Spanish, German, Bible (about 80% lit
and with many connections made to the Greek and Hebrew originals I never
studied). German was the only language, whose grammar I studied in university.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Also <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">spelt </span></em>can a kind of wheat; <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">smelt</span></em> can be to process ores or a fish
which seems on the way to extinction.</span></p>
