RE: [HAPS-L] ADA Testing



If you write your lover a note saying "I dream of having my hands around your waist" be careful of the spelling.

For spelling, I guess I'm a bit of a "witch".  I require correct spelling from everyone.  I have given examples of phonetically identical words that mean completely different things (best for my example is ilium and ileum) to the advising office that handles this.  I haven't had a problem yet.
