Mr. Levin, I would like to see those files too! Thank you.

And as for the "spellcheck," then it's only a matter of time that we see 
something like this in Russian:

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

We do more for our students when we expect more out of them.  Russians still 
do write in cursive.  Twenty-year-olds do not constitute the whole of the 
Russian population, and even they still do know how to write in cursive.  Even 
8-year-olds do!  There is also a big difference between a "beautiful" 
handwriting and a "legible" one, but I won't even go there.
