    I attribute my skill in spelling to being very well-read. It also makes for a large working vocabulary.
    The same is true in my case ...even if it doesn't always look that way in my posts. Everywhere I've ever worked, I wound up as the "office dictionary" within a few weeks.

    As for English being ridiculously hard to learn: I have had this backed up by pretty much every foreign-language teacher I've ever studied under. I'm a native speaker, I have a degree in English, and I took a number of linguistics courses, and I still don't claim to truly and fully "understand" our wonderful clusterf*** of a language.

    I do find it amusing that modern Japanese tends to "borrow" words from other tongues -- English, Chinese, and Portuguese among them -- though, in their case, imported words are written in an entirely different script (katakana)...but not always.

      If I'd bothered to look for other posts of yours, I probably could have divined that you don't work for a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the product in question
      No, that's okay, really, I probably should've mentioned it. I've worked here so long I tend to forget that the whole world doesn't know that.
      When you start at zero, everything's progress.
