Spelling



Well if you don't know it by now my spelling sucks. It is so bad that my Bulgarian students have asked me why my spelling is worse then theirs in class. I responded that it was because chalk doesn't have spell check. Spelling in English is very hard. Speaking it is actually pretty simple but the written language is very difficult. Here is an example: Quote:
i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wh otuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I know nothing



_I know nothing about football. England lost and so did Brazil. The three teams I figured had the best chance of winning were Brazil, England, and Argentina (which was also eliminated the other day, sorry Carin). If I had to pick a team to win I would have to go with Germany because they have home field advantage and have played pretty well during the cup. Now that I have said that however I am sure they will loose in the next match.
