Being only 16, and part of the generation that this problem is most prevalent in, I guess I have to weigh in on this, too. I think what causes it is the fact that every word processor on the computers nowadays has a spell checker, and almost every school in America has piles of computers, all with word processors with spell checkers (and yet they say they have no money...). This means, than from Kindergarten on up, the kids don"t have to write much by hand, and if they make a mistake, THE COMPUTER FIXES IT FOR THEM. Thus, learning to spell becomes irrevalent, almost a lost art. As you can probably tell from my post, I"m always pretty careful about spelling and punctuation, and, I"ll admit, it"s always come pretty easily to me. My hand-printing is mediocre, though, (but still readable!) and my cursive is pathetic. Why? Because I don"t do lots of printing or writing, so I simply don"t get much practice at it. I guess that"s progress, though. Hmph. Nathan in MN
