Anna’s Adventures

There’s this woman that I know who is a chronic mis-speller. It irritates me. I wonder to myself: does she have an excellent knowledge of English, and is trying to be subversive; or is she spelling by phonics in a mad attempt to make herself understood?

Then that makes me wonder why I am such an elitist about these things. I never have problems understanding her emails. Why do I care if she is scrambling her letters in an intellectual game, or an honest effort? Why do I privilege the game?
