Cheap, though.<BR/><BR/>Guyana-Gyal, I like that game, too. Drink, drank, drunk. Stink, stank, stunk. Think, thank, thunk.<BR/><BR/>Austin, I hadn't thought about it, but I'll bet Ebonics would create an extra obstacle. Oh, and the sloppy handwriting diversion? Pretty tricky, LOL!<BR/><BR/>Sunflower, thanks for sharing that with us. It's so hard to watch our children struggle. I'm sure it helps your son to know you're behind him every step of the way.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1157511414236938182006-09-05T21:56:00.000-05:002006-09-05T21:56:00.000-05:00What a great post - made me laugh and cry.

I intentionally write words I can't spell with a messy penmanship because you can't see that I've got it all wrong. Some have come to know this secret so when they see scribbles among basically readable words they know for sure that I can't spell that word. The net doesn't offer me that kind of deception.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about blogging, it's about sharing not competing.<BR/><BR/>AustinAustin of Sundriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871002467496943145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1157461119312747312006-09-05T07:58:00.000-05:002006-09-05T07:58:00.000-05:00Hehe, that reminds me of word games we played as c...Hehe, that reminds me of word games we played as children: Teach, taught, taught.

You make up for it in other ways.<BR/><BR/>Cousin Postlady, thanks for the nice words, but please don't be intimidated by anything you read here or elsewhere. Blogging isn't a competitive sport; it's all about the stories -- and we want to hear yours. Besides, you're delightfully articulate on the phone; just put one word in front of the other and write the way you speak.<BR/><BR/>Janet, I'm sure it's time to replace some pillows around here, so you can put me down for feathers.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1157235516921233322006-09-02T17:18:00.000-05:002006-09-02T17:18:00.000-05:00no matter if they make it easy i couldn't spell!no matter if they make it easy i couldn't spell!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698348452802053572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1157207035110575722006-09-02T09:23:00.000-05:002006-09-02T09:23:00.000-05:00Bless u and ur wrds. wht dus SSS say re txts?
