Language is important for it allows us to communicate with our fellow human beings. Every single language in the world is made up of words which are then used either in a structured or conventional way.
Indeed, without words we wouldn't be able to communicate. Of course, we could always try and express ourselves and our feelings by using grunts, hand gestures and body language but there is no guarantee that our fellow human beings would understand us.
However, while we can't imagine our lives without language - and in consequence, words - the fact of the matter is that some words are incredibly difficult to spell. Sure, we might be able to pronounce these words and use them in casual conversations but writing them down might be a different matter altogether.
Unfortunately, poor spellers are often ridiculed and considered to possess below average intelligence. That is, of course, totally untrue but perceptions and ideas are hard to break.
So, how good of a speller are you? Do you think you can spell every word out there? And, more importantly, can you spell easy words? Only too often the seemingly easy and straightforward words are the hardest to spell.
