1. I think the author feels that people should spell all the words right in other words he highly disapproves.
2.The reader mostly can infer it as well as see it directly./
3.I guess it is important because you need to know the correct way instead of always spelling it wrong.
4.I did good on the easy. But on the hard I didnt do to good.

I feel that english words should be spelled correctly becasue you are taught to spell them and you should always know how to spell them what ever the situation is.

1. I think Kuralt thinks misspelling shows individualism, and is acceptable. It serves a purpose and we read and understand what the person means even though the word is misspelled.

2. In order for the reader to know his attitude towards this he gives examples from what people do and states that it’s not a problem. You can infer that he dosen’t care much about the mispellings of words.

3. I think you should spell english words correctly, because people know exactly what you mean when you say something, they don’t have to guess.

The way Kuralt feels about misspelled words is not happy, yet he says misspelled words are ok. He said that our country is horriable at spelling and that is is entirely excusable.
