	Hay, ah' cun spel beta' dun al uh ya.  Right On!    seee?  Now lisun too me, dig dis:

	We Engineers are renown fo' our inability t'spell.  Ya' know?  De problem isn't
dat we  duzn't know how t'spell (we do), no' duz it gots'ta do wid de
size uh de Engineerin' vocabulary we need t'know (is BIG).  It especially
 gots'ta absolutely nodin' t'do wid our writin' ability (excepshun: Bubba de 
Cat).

	No folks, de problem be dat our brains simply run too fast.  Dat's
right, de queues goin' fum our primary CPU t'our Mechanical Control
Sub-processin' Centers git completely overloaded, and, as some result, some 
of de data gits mixed down o' chopped off.  What it is, Mama!  We tell our hands t'go scribble
somedin' wid some flick uh our neurons and go on t'oda' din's widout
boderin' t'check on deir progress.  Dis be why ya' often see whole
phrases missin' fum unedited engineerin' sheets.  Oda' examples include
desheeit documented Kernal Kernel problem.  'S coo', bro.

	English Majo's, on de oda' hand, do not gots'ta be so's abstract,
which allows deir MCSC's t'memo'ize widely used output chittlin's and dus
keep down wid de primary CPU.

	Typists (as some livin'. Read, dig dis: 'Data Entry') are on de oda' side of
de spectrum alltogeder.  Ah be baaad...  Dey  duzn't gots'ta dink at all, and kin 
concentrate all deir resources on de queuin' aspect.  Dus, de better
typists (110 Wpm +) do not gots'ta ax' de speaka' to pause when changin'
sheet on deir type-scribbler.  Ah be baaad...


	So, in conclusion, de most effective medod fo' an Enginea' to
curtail his spellin' problems be wid some lot uh practice on his queuin'
ability.  Slap mah fro!  Simply sit waaay down and scribble some program which scrolls arbitrary
wo'ds onto de screen, and see if ya' kin type dem in de same o'da' dey
appear.  Ah be baaad...  De idea be to always set da damn speed da damn program outputs de wo'ds 
plum a tad fasta' dan yo' current copyin' ability.  Slap mah fro!
