8. But spelling still counts -
You need to be able to properly identify and reproduce all the letters in a word to be able to mangle it so, and still have it be understood! That takes spelling!

To borrow a word from the HEADLINE of a recent GD thread, my "montra" is and shall remain - SPELLING COUNTS! :hi:
