	Sob...sob...WAAAaaaaah...I knew it wood happen someday...I was
  bound to be exposed as a terible speller...waaaah.  I try I really do
  ...I have my dictionery by my side and everthing....but looking up
  every word kind of spoils the spontanaiety of my creative writing..
  ...waaah...sometimes I even spell my name wrong...really!..oh...you
  don't doubt it?...Ok, actually I have an excuse, English is my second
  language....Irish is my native language..so there....besides there
  were no twinkies in the house the night I typed that posting...now,
  I ask you...how could I concentrate on my spelling knowing that 
  there were no twinkies in the house?
