Why Spelling is Important

A snippet of a recent IM conversation:

***
Friend: Do you have a copy of [insert name of book here].

Me: 'Fraid not. Never even heard of it.

Friend: hrmm. *goes to bed ice caver to get book from attic*

Me: Umm...I think you meant "beg," right?

Friend: Oh dear. Yes, yes I did.

So watch your spelling, kids. Otherwise, who knows what you might be signing up for...
