The Kindness of Verifying Spelling

"When our spelling is perfect, it's invisible.  But when it's flawed, it prompts negative associations."
~ Marilyn vos Savant

It may seem like a small thing -- spelling.  Unless you are someone for whom spelling matters.  However, the spelling of a name is always a big thing -- at least to the person whose name it is.  So I was very touched when the husband-wife parent team who volunteer to put together the yearbook at my son's school contacted me to make sure that my son's name was spelled correctly.  (Btw, there seems to be a spelling gene.  My lovely friend's two children are both spelling champs.)
