In response to Re: English spelling (rboert)

I taught university English in Korea for several years and many students pass in homework/assignments without using Spellcheck or a dictionary. It is just being lazy. Students would come to Help Desk and ask the native teacher to "Please help me with my grammar". Actually, the intent was to get the foreign teacher to rewrite the whole page, including structure, punctuation and spelling, and then get an A in a different teacher's class.

I don't like the word typist (or stewardess or actress).I am a typer. When I use a tissue I am the wiper not the wipist.
