lots of people can not spell lots of words. for example me, i cannot spell favoirte or other words like that. i just learned to spell that word and im 16!!
PixieTwist answered Wednesday November 26 2003, 4:27 pm: Sure, why not? Being able to spell can help you along in life, but is not nessecarily (see, i cant spell either) needed. As long as you do okay in school and whatnot other than spelling, you are fine... hey I am a proud Dork, Nerd and Geek, so be proud of your inabilty to spell if it floats your boat!

metawidget answered Wednesday November 26 2003, 3:40 pm: Normal... maybe, depending on your definition of normal, but c'mon, good spelling lets you make a favourable impression on the world. Being proud of bad spelling is kind of anti-intellectual, which, valuing cleverness, insight and order, I'm not so sure about.
In art, they say to learn the rules (composition, rendering, perspective, etc.) so you can break them properly. Same thing with spelling...
