The Ability to Spell Correctly Should Not be Valued
Because the absurdities and intricacies of our pres-
ent spelling hav made a mastery of them the most dif-
ficult and long-continued task of the average student,
a false value has been placed on spelling ability. "Cor-
rectness" in reality, mere conformity in spelling
is too generally assumed to be an indication of su-
perior education, whereas as has been shown it
is only evidence of a natural or a specially traind
eye-memory. 06 JUL 2011 by ideonexus
Babies Flirt
There are other reasons to think that even very young babies are especially tuned to people. Babies flirt. One of the great pleasures in life is to hold a three-month-old in your arms and talk absolute nonsense. "My, my, my," you hear your usually sane, responsible, professional voice saying, "you are a pretty bunny, aren't you, aren't you, aren't you, sweetums, aren't you a pretty bunny?" You raise your eyebrows and purse your mouth and make ridiculous faces. But the even more striking thing...The back and forth of goo-goo eyes and cooing between mothers and their babies is a flirtatious bonding.

Folksonomies: centrism
It is an ideal mean to which we must strive.
