If you can't spell, what chance have you of fitting ANYTHING?




Spelling does not correlate well with intelligence. You will no doubt have
heard of dyslexia, if not, try http://www.interdys.org. People who suffer
this condition are frequently poor spellers yet may be highly intelligent,
and certainly not below average.


Intelligence is not directly correlated with ability to do DIY. Ability
to read instruction manuals may well be.

Reactions such as yours merely serve to reinforce the prejudice that these
people feel, and perpetuate a myth which should no longer exist in the 21st
century. Perhaps you will consider this next time you call someone a dunce
because they spell poorly.

Perhaps they are a dunce?

I do think you should get rid of the prejudices you have been inculcated
with tha all people are

(a) delicate shrinking violets and
(b) have no sense of humour

and
(c) are as dumb and ashamed of it as you seem to be.

Its not your fault the the all pervasive nature of 'Soshlist
Thinking-ah' has taught every teacher in every school that lack of
ability to do anything useful, is to be patronised, given a name, and
encouraged with faint praise (*and these daus a degree in 'Soshul
Studdies', whilst any merit and aptitude - whether by dint of being born
lucky, or hard work, is to be denigrated as 'anti social' and 'making
other people feel inadequate' or ultimately damned as 'elitist'.




Incidentally, the OP wasn't intending to fit anything, he wanted advice
before tackling someone about work done by others.

Also, "BLOODY" has no "T"

Don't be elitist.

You will me telling me next that Bliar has no Tony.
