Brian,
I also went to Forest Hill but really you can't use your upbringing as an excuse for every crime against spelling that you make (what would Mr Neal say). You want to use stocks and capital punishment to sort our society's woes, and I don't see why this regime of public humiliation should not extend to minor spelling mistakes. Surely you, and your even more right-wing friends, would find this appropriate so that we might finally have children and adults that can use the English language properly.

And just to make you happy I thought I should include a lovely story about a child rapist who has won the right to get chocolate bars in prison (not for his windows but to eat).
