"My only problem is if the message is spelled incorrectly"

Prager, for fifty years solid, and for the fifty years before that when the teachers' unions were trying to shove it down our throats, children have been "learning" to read via the look-guess Whole Word method. It was a disaster. But because about 70% of students are eventually able to muddle through some text and read it out loud, the teachers love it. It was "experimental" in the beginning, which warms the cockles of teachers' hearts, then it was "modern" (even better), and it was always "progressive" which has always won immediate favor in the hearts and minds of lefties.

Of course, when we taught children to read the letters from left to right and decode the magnificent secret, one hundred percent of children learned to decode at age six or seven. And they could read a few thousand words their first year into instruction. With look-see whole word they are limited to exactly the number of words given by their shitty textbooks. And as most historians of reading instruction know, there was in the Forties and Fifties a war among publishers to see who could restrict the reading textbooks to teaching the fewest words. The winner taught first graders only two hundred sixty-five words.

What happens to the thirty percent who can't learn to read via the magnificent look-guess whole word method? They "develop" a mystery disease that has no cure--"dyslexia". Dyslexia is the worst thing that ever happened to our children (and is unknown in countries where they still teach reading one letter at a time), but it's the greatest thing that ever happened to the teaching profession, as twice as many jobs opened for the sake of teaching remedial reading to child victims of teaching malpractice.

Back to spelling. Kids who were taught to read by stabbing at the middle of the word and memorizing its shape become adults who can't spell. You need to play an online game that I play to see just how disastrous this whole word looksay garbage has been for the public.
