JFD,What reasons did they give in HF which portrayed engineers bad spellers? A latency toward dyslexia or illiteracy perhaps. Personally I don't wear it, a concisely written worksheet is essential to proper maintenance.
Secondly, much as I'd like to, I've never thought of myself as a CLEAVER dick but perhaps that was a Freudian slip!
Most of the spelling mistakes in posts are due to finger trouble and reading typed text at 8 point before you post, it's only when you read the message in full size you realise that you f***ed up, although this post is largely humourous it does try make a point.
