Spelling
According to most spelling is a law of nature. Thus, in England, English nature produced colours. But, in other parts, color grew up from the earth. Yet, this is partly true, for nature is an empty word. Or, is one people "more natural?" If so, the less natural people spell falsly. Against the physical law of spelling. However, how is it possible to break a physical law? By miricle?

Re: Spelling
Although any of us can misspell words at one time or another, frequent misspellings demonstrates laziness, sloppiness, and a lowered bar for intelligence. Whatever you put your mind to -- including communication -- deserves some level of effort to do it well. And how you do anything, could be a sign of how you do everything!
So naturally, someone boasting of intelligence who exhibits such laziness and sloppiness while claiming that they are TOO intelligent "to conform" to a higher bar of accuracy
, isn't worth taking seriously.

Re: Spelling
I never had any large respect for good spelling. That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters and also added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a doubtful benevolence to us. -Mark Twain
Harlan Ellison said sumthin' along the lines of: if you spell cat as kat that'll pass, but spelling cat as dog, well, that presents a problem.

It is right by a possible standard. Why would nations be the controlling authority, or their yosage? I impose a new standard by living. Or, is spelling true knowledge of a discovery about the universe like the discovery of the nucleus of the atom?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 4:53 pmNeither American English nor the Queen's spell neophyte as nyophite.

Re: Spelling
Is the more primative more natural? Doesn't spelling come later, after the infant natural life of the non-speller? What is the "more natural?" Only what comes first like a wild forest is more natural than a cultivated orchardcommonsense wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 7:54 pmYou misspelled “falsely”.

Yes, it would be more accurate to say that you claim to be a less-than-natural human. But why do you say so?TheVisionofEr wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 12:41 amBad answer.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:35 pmSo, you are in agreement that you are less than natural.TheVisionofEr wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:00 pm
