Wilf Lunn: Advice on spelling mistakes

Oct 3 2009 by John Avison, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

LAST Saturday I was walking round the market.

I had just bought three very old bottles of Ralph Cuthbert’s sal volatile when I got into conversation with a lady.

She said: “I read your bit in the paper and I do love your spelling mistakes.”

So that’s one happy reader. But what about the bits in between?

Then I remembered the wise remark of a youth at Almondbury Comprehensive.

His friend, looking at his essay, said: “You don’t spell it like that.”

To which he replied: “You do if you can’t spell.”
