Odds And Ends

The other day I was reading the comment section on another blog. One commenter said that spelling was irrelevant as it didn’t matter how one spelled a word, as long as others understood what you were talking about.

This may be true in casual communications, but I got a job one time simply because I was the only person who had spelled everything correctly on the application form.

I've always thought that instead of demanding sameness, that we should be able to come together in our differences.

Humanity is a big jigsaw puzzle that doesn't need all the pieces to be the same size and shape in order to fit together.
