Shirley:
How long did it take you to type all those words incorrectly???!!

My 5th-grader is a terrible speller (due to a learning disability 
called Phonemic Awareness Deficit) and a very slow typist, so I have 
her write rough drafts that I then type into Word for her.  Then she 
and I sit and go through spell-check so she can make the necessary 
corrections.  I cannot tell you how difficult it is for me to type 
the words as she has written them; I always type them with correct 
spelling and have to go back and change them to whatever 
bastardization she came up with.  So, doing what you did above would 
have taken me forever, and probably would require some alcoholic 
beverage or four.... ;-)

Shirley, slightly worried that she had no trouble deciphering your 
message *and* that she didn't see that you had 'misspelled' your name 
at the end....
