Is spelling irrelevant? Is letter placement overrated? We got an email that says it is.

    "It doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem."

    Untrue, as per last sentence of the video. Could you read it with NO problem? No, you couldn't.

    Milptisnsh lofngng plaxnifni.

    Yeah, you can't "say, write, or express whatever,

    or however you want to," and expect people to understand you or for your message to be compelling. Spelling and grammar are not a "sport" but are rather a device to help communication stay clear.

    "Let's eat, Greg." vs. "Let's eat Greg!"

    Big difference.

    Also, misspelling words can lead to awkward situations, though I won't offer examples.

    So no, spelling and grammar aren't for control - they're for communication.
