Excuse me?  Would you care to back that one up?  What do you
consider to be a "lot" or reading?  If something short of 24 hours
per day qualifies, then I do a lot of reading, and I feel sorry
for anyone who thinks that I am a good speller.  I finally
got so fed up with the 'spelltell' program that I brought in a
_W_e_b_s_t_e_r_'_s, which sits next to my keyboard.  I just looked up
the word "idiot".  It says nothing about spelling.

Yes, a person should proofread articles, but a misspelled
word is no reason to call someone an "idiot".

English is a total disaster for spelling. "I before E" indeed.
