Spelling and grammar are more than just a trivial pursuit, they actually stifle both creativity and logical thinking. Agreement on standard forms of communications are important, but only when such protocols are necessary; otherwise this pseudo-wannabee-science is
nothing more than dogmatic ritual and an embarrassment to our so-called modern society. Granted, we still have enough oxygen to supply academic grammarians, but why waste it?

Why, then, do you take the trouble to write so very well?

Kool. I'm in quicksand. But I must spin doctor this back somehow.

Cogitate on this. Imagine a world where humans have evolved where communication is telepathic. Not only has Microsoft Word become obsolete, but Harvard Ph.D's will be driven mad by disjointed thought patterns at the local 7-11.

As Huxley may have wanted, a truely "Brave New World".
