Greg McVerry@soapdog Not sure I agree. Yes was a time of misused opportunities and hubris driven goal setting. THE place online in just three, 500 clubs in a year...It was all paid for with soft money and each project shepherded by one person.
Greg McVerryManoush came highly recommended by #IndieWeb friends Listened to first episode of this show. I am hooked.

Greg McVerryAnd I do proofread sometimes after publishing. I would rather get content out there. I fix it back on my website but my syndicated thrown into the wind maintain the mistakes. I am okay with this, imagine if we had to spell every word before we spoke. No one would talk.
Greg McVerryI get that advocates suggest "mechanical exercise of learning spelling and handwriting" but you can get the same fine motor and repetition learning circuit boards and code..and its the correct way to learn programming, wrong way to learn spelling
Greg McVerryBut spelling programs exist. Words Their Way still stop 100 education book on Amazon. Lot of people studying how to teach spelling, and computers can use more production based ways promoted inb WTW more efficiently than people

Greg McVerryKids are still being taught spelling #edu407 and #edu305 we just aren't doing it in the ineffective manner of pretest monday, define, tuesday, write, three times wednesday, use in a sentence thursday , post test friday.
Greg McVerryLook at the phrase "straight blew up the scene" I spelled everything correctly but the meaning, syntax, and grammar influenced by so much culture. Spelling and grammar are power and enforcing rigid rules in ways also reinforces dominant cultures.
