Hi guys

Thought this little gem was a good example of the term, "Axiomatic"

A Malay student writing to his Languages teacher thanking him for the crash course he'd recently completed.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the online module, only out of date software was available, and the I.T. department was closed due to sudden illness. In a desperate attempt to not lose any of his paying students, the well meaning B. Ed had a go at cobbling together his own software for download. Two days after the course, he received an e-mail, which ended:

"So thaenkin yoo vearie mooch foure teach ang me yor Inglish.  Iym wrotten betta tahn eva beefore, thoe ewe mustard mitt,  thes spelchoker you instawled iz robbesh."

I wonder what his reply was?   ;D

Hahaha... I don't know what's funnier... the crazy sentence itself, or the fact that I was able to decipher it ???  :D

I don't like people telling me I mustard mitt.   >:(
Heb 10:32  But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle.

Proof that proper spelling skill is a waste of brain power.

Spelling is still important-don't let this great language go to text.
