Umm, formative years spent in the company of nuns with yardsticks? I've
always felt that spelling counts. It can tell you (or give you a pretty
good idea, anyway) the derivation of a word, what language it is
probably from, etc.

I myself was never the object of a nun's Extreme Prejudice, as it were,
so I guess I can't claim the full gamut of the Catholic School
Experience, but they do undeniably teach kids to spell. One of the
frequent problems I run across is that people who write Web pages often
can't spell, so knowing how to spell and using a good search engine
doesn't always get me the number of hits I expect: it's difficult to
anticipate how someone will misspell a word... .
