Bad spelling

I am taking an online class, and have been going to online school for many years. Actually, this is my last quarter in school.

So, today I had a class mate and my teacher complain about my spelling. Collage may not be the word he was looking for when he complained about my spelling. He meant College lever communication skills.

Every word in my posts and writing is spelled correctly; it is just often the wrong word. Close spelling, just wrong. Like what there to use for example.

So I say to myself, when my 3rd grade teacher told me that Dyslexia was going to keep me as a manual laborer for the rest of my life, or as she and the principle told my mom that I "will be nothing more than a ditch digger" when I grow up. Well, I do alright. In fact, I do better than most.

I have, in the 7th grade when I was tested, a 135 IQ. I can dive into conversations with doctors, and make them look up what I am saying.

Last week I was in court, I argued with my lawyer, and the opposing lawyer, and finally the Judge. I won, completely… My lawyer with 20 years experience was shocked that I could get up and quote law better then the two lawyers.

With 0 experiences I have received almost 15 million in property tax deductions for my employer. The person that I replaced has done it for a living for almost 15 years, used to work for the assessor's office, and is "the area expert" He laughed when I started, saying feel free to call him when I was done making a fool of myself.

I remember one time Cody was telling me, "Mommy is smarter than you". I am in no way insulting my wife and her inelegance, I am just telling you of a conversation I had with my son when he was around 12.

So I said, "Why do you think that"

His reply, "she can spell better then you".

So, naturally I had to argue with him. I said, "Why would you think spelling is a measure of inelegance."

I later pointed out that he, and Autumn at 12 and 10, could both spell better than me, and with that logic they were smarter than me.

Cody smiled, and said "yea I know"… Them were fighting words. LOL

Yes people, I cannot spell worth a darn. Some of you that will, or may read this, have seen my hand writing. Keep in mind, I spell really bad, and to top it of, my hand writing skills are worst then most 3rd graders.

So, in about three months I will have a BS in BA. I average a 3.7 GPA right now, and I still cannot spell worth a darn. F the people that really think that spelling is a measure of the success of the school, success in life, or just plain inelegance.
