Shades, if you were to shoot him now no court in the land would convict you.

I hate the spell-checkers, which (who?) knows better.

Native english speakers MUST use them. In a language, which nobody knows how to pronounce an "i" in, (please pronounce "find fill first") the spell checker is a life preserver.

A language, in which nobody knows which is the proper letter, "s" or "c", "j" or "g", a language, in which the word Jesus can write as Geezes ...
There can happen anything.
For example, above the _i_ in parentheses was written originally in lower case.

I can't believe it. Two spelling errors in one week for me! I'm losing my touch!

I must now go and commit suicide. It was nice knowing you all.

I'd advise against it Shades. A friend and I sat down and tried to figure out the ideal way to commit suicide. There isn't one. Plus over half of suicide attempts fail. Odds are not good, my friend. Just accept that the English Language is a beautiful thing experiencing endless change on it's march towards perfection. That is what I tell myself when I do final edits on work done by my company. One day I need to sit down and explain to them that less is more when it comes to commas. I think one in three is actually necessary. Excuse me. I need to go beat my head against a wall.

You and your friend must not have much of an imagination then.

Several quick ways to off yourself:

1. Drive up into the mountains. Hike into the middle of no-where. Slit your throat.

2. Ingest mass quantities of meth, heroine, rat poison, and arsenic. Follow your "death shake" with a shotgun blast (preferable slug) to the head/throat.

3. Tie 100 lbs. weights to your ankles and jump off a ship in the ocean.

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.
