Well, maybe. Sometimes things just happen. In school, I was not a good
speller. If I remember correctly, on an seventh grade "achievement" test,
I had scores like: 99,99,99,99,98,96, something in the 80s and 40.
The forty was in spelling. This was the first time I realized that the
first several scores might be unusual because of the way some students
reacted when they found out.

However, I read alot (although not as much as I used to be able to) and
that has probably helped improve my spelling.

Now I find myself *correcting* a lot of spelling as things go into
the Florilegium. :-)
