Man, I keep seeing the look on one of my dear hero's face when so many people tell him that competing in a spelling bee is pathetic. Charlie Brown, man, Charlie Brown! Poor chap. He tried so hard but failed at the last national hurdle to spell beagle correctly. Or so one of the many tales of his attempts to achieve something worthwhile goes...*sigh* Good grief. I love the guy too much. Inference: Tis human nature to strive and compete. Thus, I can see nothing wrong with competing in a linguistic way.

I agree with Areledrian about the learning epidemic - this is the future of a world language we are talking about and if the conventions become overly mutated, it would likely become difficult to understand anything anyone says. Having some english tutoring experience makes me feel quite adamant about trying to keep the soundness and richness of language in tact. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And Nerull - You tell some amusing tales there.
It frightens me the depths of stupidity in the world sometimes.

Nerull, that's a classic! I know I'm not a whiz with numbers but I think that's a no-brainer! LOL

Nerull, that $1.50 story made me laugh so much. The fact that he wants to attend uni is a bonus!

No, he doesn't WANT to attend the university. He DOES attend the university. That really begs the question of who is worse: him or the university that let him in.
