Uhhh, you'd be amazed at how many CEO's and other "highly educated" folks can't spell worth a damn. Or figure out how to use their telephone. I once worked for a company that had a VP who flew the SR-71 Blackbird cross country, yet he couldn't figure out the feature buttons on his telephone. I think a lot of it has to do with most of us "older" folks never really learned to type. When I was in high school (70's) only girls took typing-now ALL kids take it, but it's now called "keyboarding". My old ISP (Earthlink) the email program did an automatic spell check before sending. Not so with Comcast.     Jeff
