Spell (from Writing Tips for Non Writers, Jan. 27, 2012 & updated)


Joe Dwinell, the best speller I know, claims he is the worst.

I've never seen him spell a word wrong.

He is plugged-in, works in news, mines data, tweets, Instas, Snapchats, Facebooks, videos, blogs, tumbles, connects all day.

Carries a beat, pocket dictionary to check spelling. At sometime or another, he convinced himself he was a poor speller. Hasn't missed a word since.

We should all have Joe's tenacity.

Spelling correctly makes people think you know what you're talking about. It gives you authority. Makes you trustworthy.
