Do we have to spell it out?

Last week’s lament about the state of modern spelling prompted a missive from Sharon Mossman at Sage.
‘I once had a software developer working for me on a fuel management system who submitted his code for testing,’ she says. ‘He spelled the word “fuel” as “fule” throughout.’ There can’t be a coder with worse spelling skills out there, can there?

An e-mail went out about replacement ID badges and the last line before the sign block was "Many thanks in advance for your assistants."
If I had any assistants they would be too busy giving me assistance for me to give them to any one else.
