Spelling

To the self proclaimed educator and writer who boasted of her inability to
spell, I ask two questions:

1. I am a professional, published writer, too. I would be ashamed to submit
anything that wasn't properly spelled, punctuated and structured to my
editor. Would you please tell me what "rupual" means? I couldn't find it in
any of my dictionarys.

2. Please tell me how you react when whomever you educate (God help us if
it's schoolchildren) does or says something that incites you to such
hysteria. If a veterinarian tells you your horse must be pulled from
competition, do you blow up and tell the vet you know more about horses then
she does?

Constructive criticism isn't a personal attack. If you continue to react so
hysterically to such type criticism, someday someone will refrain from
telling you something important, and you will suffer the consequences.
And being unable to spell is nothing to be proud of, ESPECIALLY for an
educator.
