ZK, heh, I'm glad I made at least one person laugh (I think that's the best reaction I can hope for about a rant that's been stewing in me for years). I just hate that even now I still find myself staring at a word and wondering if I just made up the spelling for it. Spellcheck gives me confidence issues.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Annoyingly, spelt is a word in American English anyway. Get crabby about learnt, or dreamt, or something, spellchecker.
Today is wear chainmail to work day, if you're keeping track.

Spelt is two words! It's also a kind of grain.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It doesn't recognize quinoa either. And I've just learned that quinoa is not actually a grain, and thus I can eat it.

Chainmail ... some days I could really use that. Or full plate armor. (veteran of public transit)

I have no chainmail either! Can it be polka dot day instead?

Because books.
I sense black latex day right around the corner.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
One shouldn't wear clothing that makes noise to the theatre. (Ha. Spellcheck doesn't like theatre.)
I just got promotional email from AARP. That is so NOT ON.

It's too late to consider your submission for today, Perkins, but I will take it into consideration for tomorrow.
I'm not sure I have work-appropriate polka dots, now that I think about it. Perhaps I need to go shopping...

We are not supposed to wear black, white or gray. I only own black pants, I think.
