It certainly suggests that ability to spell correctly in English isn't necessary for success.[/quote]
And you suggesting that all the kids should become illiterate because somebody on DCUM is successful without being able to spell?[/quote]

I'm suggesting that the ability to spell correctly in English isn't necessary for success.

Also, since you mention illiteracy -- [b]literacy is being able to read[/b], not being able to use standard spellings in English.

(English spelling is stupid. And I say that as a person who actually can spell.)[/quote]
Quickly, open a new window and google "literacy". Come back and tell us what you've just learned today.[/quote]

Historically, the ability to write was considered to be separate from the ability to read. True fact! Martin Luther thought that everybody should know how to read so that they could the bible without an intermediary, but he didn't care if people were able to write.[/quote]
That's cute, but what does "literacy" mean?[/quote]
