I’ve made plenty of mistakes on Pigg because I type too fast and don’t have time to go back and edit.
That’s very different from making an error on a huge political poster what one will carry around for hours.

I think they barely graduated.
The best English speakers are people who studied Latin and Greek, and other Western languages such as French and German. They know the etymology of words.
If your only language is English, then chances are you’re a deficient speller.

Okay stop.
As one of the token liberals here I have to call bullshit.
That “one-must-learn-an-ancient-or-foreign-language-to-speak-English” is just about as credible as the dude belching out smog from his tree-hugger-bestickered volkswagen.
(Or the more contemporary version: the guy who drives his $30k hybrid to a wine and cheese soirée on poverty.)
While English is–lignustically– the most horrific frankenstein language on the planet (like we have different definitions for “bath”, “bathe” and “bask”), it is perfectly reasonable to expect people to learn it without the benefit of second language.
Not all of us went to La Jolla Country Day.
