Charlie and the Spell-A-Thon Police can have at me on that one as well as this "Spellathon Malfusance"![/quote]

Can't resist Joe.... Malfeasance.... Laughing

Try the spell check button if you get tired of my tutorials. Wink

Won't bother with Porta Potty, they both stink.... Cry

Thank You, Charlie!

I purposely didn't check up on Porta Potty, and then again on malfeasance, just for comic effect!

The spellcheck doesn't work with my Mac, but usually I know enough to check out diffecultt (sic) words.

My wife's a retired English teacher, and made me into a much better speller, but sometimes it's just too much fun to klutz it up deliberately flutz the spelling in the face of the stern orthodox language crowd!

Kinda like bad-ass kid acting up, I guess.

Joe.

Alan,
I live way up here in Alaska and right now the C-Biscuit has about 3 ft of snow on her. I'll have to get a picture on the web...but to the point of the post...check out Sun Dog. They are a great couple and have 2 little ones and a ton of great pictures of their adventures on this site. I think Joe has his own web site too with more pictures. They could give you a bunch of tips on how to do extended trips with the little ones.
Enjoy![/img]

Am compelled to add our 2 cents and that's probably all its worth to this off topic subject of spelling.

Jo-Lee and I come from, are, and have added to the worlds population of dyslexics. To us and many like us the English language can be more than a little confusing. Especially the spelling part. For us spell checker, word perfect and the like opens up a whole new world. I don't think my kids could have made it through college with out that help. At the same time it grates on me that this is necessary. Any one of us could write and spell well enough that you would know what we were trying to convey and that our minds were actually working, but with the average English Teacher mentality that would not have gotton us through grade school let alone a University. With a little check into history you will find its only in the more recent era that spelling mattered at all. What counted was the ability to express ones self so as to be understood in writing and speaking and most important the thoughts that were expressed. If you read any of the personal letters or writings of the educated elite during the time of this country's founding and much much later you will find all spelling was done with sound and there was considerable variance in letters used. I have read, but at the moment don't recall the reason for the change. I do know that most the rules made concerning the change made very little sense to me and stifle the creativity of many.

Charlie I realize that you and Joe were just having fun and in the present real world how well one spells, writes and speaks according to the rules does matter.

And I too prefer the gatorade bottle, thats due to the larger opening.
