Yes, I can spell it. Because I am an editor by profession, one thing I
have to do to keep my sanity is to refrain from endulging in unsolicited
editing. When I see a typo, I chant a mantra and try to dissolve myself
into the cosmic void and find my inner peace. That keeps me quiet for awhile.
Of course, if someone *asks* me to correct a piece of writing, they will
get an outpouring of information and opinion that bears little evidence
of any inner peace whatsoever.
