more thoughts about spelling

I've spent a lot of time thinking about and posting about spelling, compared to most homeschool moms with kids the ages of mine.

I blame my brother. He notices all my misspellings, grammar mistakes, and other goofs. He marvels that I once managed to get paid to write. Unlike my brother, I've always been a poor speller. When Wander asks me how to spell something, I'll tell him "F7" (the keyboard shortcut in Word for spell check).

I want my kids to do better than me.
