Was she reading that, or was it rote?
Spelling has been a lost art for me; lost it in third grade and have yet to find it.
That's why I use spiel check(or is it speil), when I can find it...............

It's not the words spelled wrong that get me, it the wrong words that cast the spell.

If you're interested in writing, here's a book that IMO is a good guide.
"Writing Without Teachers" by Peter Elbow

George, you but need to get good English like me. 
That is why I downloaded a spell checker that checks every thing I type, to include this. Does not catch form when I mean from though. 
Now my grammar still sucks though.
