"Marilyn vos Savant said it best (and I paraphrase): Poor spellers aren't necessarily stupid, but good spellers aren't ever dumb. You know why? Because good spellers take the time to look up words in the dictionary. Good spellers think about the language that they're speaking. Stupid people don't bother. I've met people who don't spell very well naturally, but they take the time to investigate the proper spellings and meanings of words they've never heard. THAT is intelligence. Smarts are more than an individual's natural capacity to learn. They're also a measure of his or her willingness to pursue knowledge."

Thank you.
