the problem with the younger generation is there dependence upon word processers with spell check.
My self, well lets just say way back when (Bob you might remember this) Canada though that it might be better to teach children to spell phoneticly when they are first learning to spell. as a result of this they set up test groups which consisted of classes in random schools though out Canada. needless to say the first crack at "hooked on phonics" was a utter failure as they didn't plan for the transition from phonetioc spelling to proper spelling.
unfortunatly I was in one of the test classes.
