I remember regular "dictation" that was handed in and marked. I always got great marks!

There was no spell check in '69 when I joind the RAAF, Lyn and I were not yet married, so love letters went back and forth. When Lyn was writing her letters and couldn't spell a word, she would leave a space, intending to go back and insert the word after checking the dictionary.

Problem was though that she would forget, and I would get all these letters full of spaces, so I just had to guess what words she intended to put in them.

I bet she got a shock to finally realise what she had put/not put in those letters..... And perhaps you got an awakening to realise those hot letters were not intended to be so hot !

so funny.

Not so much about spelling, but when I was in the RAAF and was deployed away somewhere, I'd get letters from my wife and her handwriting was so bad I'd have to ring her up to find out what they were about.
