I'm the first to admit it. I am not a good speller. It's just one of those things. English doesn't have any rhyme or reason to the way things are spelled, so how am I supposed to know how to spell things.
The i before e rule only works half the time, I don't even know why we teach that one. Sometimes it's f, sometimes is ph, x can sound like a z, c and k are the same. Its a joke. Silent es are all over the place.
The worst is when you ask someone how to spell something and they say to look it up. Uh, if I don't know how to spell it, how am I supposed to look it up?

Just want you to know I have a list and the percentages of when they are right in a word.
Apparently only teachers get these special pieces of paper.
(Actually they teach teachers now NOT to teach the rules because they simply are confusing)
Regardless I'll give you a copy when we both are in St. Louie :)
I thought Dad bought everyone their own dictionary. He lives with one by his side. It's amazing. I think my favorite of yours is , "Why does it need two ll's or tow oo's. that't so redundant.
