Yeah I wrote it.

And pdiggitydogg.....no sh*t. The creation of the automatic spell checker in word processing programs has been a big detriment in the ability of people to spell.

Underlying principles: If people don't have to do it, they won't. If people don't do it, they won't know how to or will forget.

There was a day my brother went into some little shop and wanted to get a propane tank. It was $20 and there was a 5% tax at the time. The cash register was broken and the girl behind the counter couldn't figure out the math. He paid $20.01 instead of $21. It took the girl 5 minutes to figure out that 5% tax is only 1 cent.....hahahahahahaaaaaa. This was in Jawgia, quality public education at its finest.
