"Spelt" may be an acceptable alternate form of "spelled," depending on the country of origin (see Katie's note above), and pertains to the construction of a word through the use of specific letters in a predefined order.

"Splet" is the sound a frog makes when it hits pavement at 187 feet per second. Don't ask me how I know.

What sound does it make if it hits at only 100 mph??


Spell checker is my BEST friend.

I have to agree with everyone here that a solid command of the English language and all of its subtle nuances is critical to personal and professional success. I have encountered far too many fellow educators who, to quote Michael Douglas in The American President, "couldn't find a coherent sentence with both hands and a flashlight." Students, both secondary and post-secondary, take your English/Communication Arts/Speech classes very seriously. It will have a significant impact on how you are perceived both personally and professionally. Just because your profession may require you to apply a high level of knowledge of math and science does not mean that oral and written communications can be ignored. Excel in all areas and you will reap the rewards.

Dave, I'll be waiting for an explanation of the ROTFLMAO acronym. Thanks!

Sean

I know ROTFLMAO. What about ROTFLMAOWPMP?

I know already! I was just trying to humor the thread and make a point.

Pour and pore are different also. Pour means that you are spilling cutting fluid in a controlled manner into somewhere; pore means that you are looking over the rules very closely, trying to find that hidden loophole.
