Rather than most spelling, pouliot, I would like to have a greater feeling for just who it is I am 'talking' with. Their spelling is not as compelling as having a better feel for where they are coming from. Take yourself - your avatar - "the world's oldest First Communicant". Still that innocent boy at heart, huh? And, 'they're there in their house' is abused more than 'their place' or 'over there'. ;) Remember, I love you, too .

One VERY common mis-spelling is using "our" or "you" for "your" but I think in most cases it has more to do with mis-typing than mis-spelling! Joe (Yes, formerly of CGHQ)! pouliot on "Spelling" http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/702#post-12049 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 13:18:58 +0000 pouliot 12049@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ Re: MKochan's post: <blockquote>"Where and there both have "here" in them.

It could be true that in heaven all words are spelled with at least one extra vowel and two extra consonants so that, for once, dyslexics have the upper hand. Seriously, our language deteriorates with our culture. So that, going to hell in the handbasket together - we won't understand a word anyone else is saying - a recombinant Babel. A mark of hell, that we cannot sympathize with each other? Hell . . . loneliness forever . . . You parents - of homeschool in all cases - teach your kids eternal life and then how to talk about it together - and, get into the right handbasket.
