I'm not such a stickler for spelling, but as chuck points out, the synth is much more pleasant to listen to when there aren't spellos in the text. Creative misspelling can be lots of fun such as when you refer to a machine with two operating systems as "d u e l" boot, or when more than a few of us call that other OS "w i n d o z e". I have an Audapter. It can even tell that a certain bloke from down-under writes the letter U instead of spelling out the word "y o u". I'm not advocating that folks learn to spell, heck, I never did. But modern mailers make it so easy to fix the errors almost automatically. I can second what Chuck says about how running the spelchecker often makes it run faster. 73.
