Standardized Spelling and Grammar has and is gone and going to far.

"One's mindfulness toward correct spelling and grammar teaches one diligence, awareness, good judgment, attention to detail, and respect for all of the above." One's judgement toward incorrect spelling and gramar teaches intolerance, legalism, egotism, arogance, and an inflated since of self worth. I believe the correct stance is my resolution. Standardized spelling has gone to far. This isn't to say it should be wisped away, simply many words should have varient spelling. If standardized spelling had not gone toooo far we would cetainly be able to have LESS judgement on seemingly intelligent people who simply don't prioritize correct spelling to the degree of, lets say a spelling Nazi. This is why I urge a Pro Vote. "Even if forgiveness abounds....How soon before that employee becomes a liability because of his potential damage to the company's hard-earned, respectable image and brand...While you showed mercy to your associate, you may have been doing more harm than having shown him the error of his ways—and in turn motivating him to improve his performance for optimal future opportunity and personal growth.....the risk of someday facing the unforgiving is ever-present; and to simply permit, or even embrace, such slovenly spelling and grammar among peers is to invite them into potential disaster with just one false step." This is certainly true, however this is only because standardized spelling has gone to far. If standardized spelling would accept many more alternative spellings then the errors would no longer be errors but also correct. This CHANGE doesn't hurt anybody but infact prevents your example. "As for your fifth contention, if you're going to accuse a single misspelling of inciting a belligerent mob of Nazis to murder, you need to cite some evidence." My opponent, you, are quite correct indeed, in deed. I don't have evidence persay but what about the MURDERING of dreams and ambitions, certainly you concede standardized spelling has achieved this. Lets say someone applyies for a job, and inadverdantly spells February, Febuary. This someone is perfectly able to do the job, the best for the job, however Standardized Spelling has not allowed this varient or alternative spelling of Febuary, excuse me February thus the applicant is thrown out by a "spelling Nazi". Standardized Spelling has gone to far, but you, my opponent, would rather refer to this someone as a "careless language-welfare recipient". Careless perhaps but one should not be so burdened with such strict spelling laws and their over inflated since of worth as bestowed upon them by the spelling nazis. NOTE: The lawyer bit was just a joke, I do see you are a Teacher and it has nothing to do with the debate. Contention 6 In regard to spelling "Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing" My son rights (writes) in his journal " to Day at school was HoraBol Becas the techr laft sowe mach Becas we have P.E. and I love P.E. its my favrt subjct" Can you tell he is my son? What he may have actually been trying to communicate "Today at school was horrible because the teacher laughed so much. My teachers laugh makes me feel uncomfortable because I am confused by her ability to show signs of being human, as I don't much regard her as human, I'm 6. Well, I'm not being completely honest because we did have P.E. today, and I love P.E.." Now certainly I would like, my son, to be a better speller than me, given standardized spelling has gone to far, and their is a lot of different interpretations of what he may be trying to communicate, which is of importance, however this quote offers a "breezy unfettered originality about his orthography" as Mark Twain would say. Standardized spelling takes the "JAZZ" out of the writen word. "This placating to inferior work ethic fosters a culture of laziness and lack of self-advocacy that society would be weaker for encouraging...It doesn't matter what two people who hated spelling thought 150 years ago; many brilliant and influential minds thought slavery was a good idea during that time, too—but that didn't make it right (nor does it now)." Funny how you equate Slavery views 150 years ago, to mine, when infact history is simply repeating itself. You see I, we, are a Slave to overburdening standardized spelling rules and regulations......Truly Liberty has been lost in the case of spelling.
