Hi. My name is Alexandrialeigh.

And I'm a spelling addict.

Today, I read this.

Apparently there are other people out there who, like me, do not patronize businesses that have misspelled words in their names. I also can't order something if it's been misspelled on a restaurant's menu.

I don't really care to have my finicky spelling habits analyzed by a shrink, but I will say that I'm not surprised that kids can't spell or write in proper English these days. How are they supposed to know that cool isn't spelled with a k and a w when they see it spelled that way in print? How would you know that the words crispy and creme (or cream for that matter) aren't spelled Krispy Kreme?

(Doesn't this make me sound old? I am slowly becoming my grandmother.)

But honestly, I just can't understand why someone wouldn't want to have things spelled correctly, and with their apostrophes in the appropriate places. I just can't.
