I Believe, Too
FOUND by Bridget in Wisconsin
Shortly after being introduced to FOUND Magazine, I found this under a desk in my French class. I keep it on my desk by my computer and it makes me smile every time I see it.

@Kermit It is so nice to know that you believe in me!

Thing I belive in:

1) Ignorant people tend to argue the loudest

2) You can't convince them they are wrong (even if you have proof)

3) I am NOT a queen. My mother is still alive.

4) I need another cup of coffee.

Hiplainsdrifter, I am going to copy that list of spelling rules and keep it by my computer, both here and at home. I didn't know about the exceptions, and I've been a teacher since 1984. Thank you!
And Smart Blond, consider yourself hugged. I hope you have a great day.

Another exception: SCIENCE. That's an I before an E and it's after a C! WTF? Is it really a "rule" when there are 10+ exceptions?

Hugs- in -cyberspace
I believe I'll send a cyber hug to the smart blond in Brooklyn.

Ready?

I before E except after C,
And when sounding like "A" as in neighbor and weigh,
And weekends and holidays and all throughout May,
But you'll always be wrong no matter what you say.

Two buddys of mine are just as you discribed, and its forms a black hole in the living room when I get them together at my house. No one can get a word in when these two go on a rant about something they know nothing about.

I believe in love (like the song in Hair) and in freedom, and in not judging people for misspellings, and only to a point with all three.

@ Oatmealio ... Ligers rule!

Kermit Fog in a Vote For Pedro t-shirt
@ Oatmealio -- Ligers are pretty much my favorite animal.

@ the various spellers in the room -- I'm an English teacher and I actually talk about the "I before E" rule and its numerous exceptions as an example that spelling rules for English are basically pointless and there are better ways to become a better speller than memorizing rules. It's kind of a silly language, really...

I believe the children are our future. But just to be sure, I believe I'll go ponder that idea over a nice, fat blunt.

Feeling in coherent
Well, I believe in the soul, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days

and in shamelessly quoting movies from the 80's.

I believe in things some would call heresy.
(But they make sense to me.)

Kermit Fog you're correct it is a silly language, but it's also clever and beautiful, ingenious, creative, flexible and versatile. As well as being intelligent(what other language "borrows" so many foreign words?) and challenging. I could go on and on. (But frankly I'm tired of having to correct my spelling repeatedly!):)

@ Feeling: nice quote. You've got me feeling a lil...incoherant. (And imagining you look like Kevin Costner.)

Here's mine:
I do have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who cares if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.

@Hot Cha cha: Thanks for the back up vocals. I hope I was able to provide some good disco booty brain for you today. 8-)

@ organgrinder: In Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc) the F7 key is the shortcut to spell check.
