Under a SPELL

I love to read.
Mostly.
I mean, I am an insatiable reader. Always have been since I was 6 and read "Charlotte's Web" all by myself. Come from a long line of insatiable readers.
I read cereal boxes. I read the "Point of Interest" signs at parks.
If I don't get to read the paper during the day, I feel disconnected and anxious.
It's a good illness.

Lately, though, I find I need my anger pills more often as I read.
Especially on the internet.
What's up with spelling and grammar these days?

Here are just a few from this week's emails:

The word is PROBABLY- not "prolly".

It's a DALMATIAN- not a dalmation, dolmation, or dollmation.

They are not COKER SPANIELS, DATSUNS, DOXINS, or DASHUNS, WINERANERS, or CHEEWAWAS, CHIWAWAS, CHEWAHAS, CHIHAHAS, or any other Chihuahua mutation.

We're BORED, not board. ANXIOUS, not anxus. GRATEFUL, not greatful.

And just spell it CHRISTMAS- not Chirstmas or Xmas.
I've even seen "Xgiving". huh?

It's FRUSTRATING- not "fustrating".
Damn straight , it IS.

And the phrase is , "I COULDN'T care less", not "I COULD care less". Duh, if you COULD care LESS, then it means you CARE SOME.

And, unfortunately, not many DO.
