Back in the day I would write a letter on a legal pad and then had it to my secretary to type I got a clever response. She quite simply said, "Mike since you don't spell well, just don't write neatly." That lady was great and I respect her tact as she put me in my place. (By the way her job title and job description was 'Executive Secretary')
Are you a good speller?

That said I keep a dictionary handy when we play scrabble, so that I can continue to expand my vocabulary.Yas, eye am a gud spellur. (My real answer is that I have to be as a freelance writer.
