Thank you, Lee Camp, for your fervent vent about America’s inability to spell. In his sharp-tongued tirade Camp expresses his loathing for those who struggle to sift their way through consonants and vowels to construct simple words such as your vs. you’re (you are) and definitely vs. definately (sic). Noah Webster was one guy who really knew how to spell, and I’m guessing there will be no argument here. It was Webster’s belief that the ability to spell could be equated to “the foundation of reading and the greatest ornament of writing.” The truth is that to be truly literate, correct spelling is not only crucial, but also could be considered the pathway to effective communication. Spell check is not always correct, especially when dealing with homophones. When in doubt, the go-to-guy is Noah….use his big book – it’s never wrong.
