Greg,

Did you ever consider that someone back in the history of the States had to start these misspellings, and thereby changed the whole course of American English?

Your constant prodding to spell things "correctly" is probably retarding development of the language immensely! 200 years from now, your descendants probably won't even recognise "CUL8R".
