Letter O is for Orthography. For those of you unfamiliar with the word, orthography means spelling. It's a big O because to spell incorrectly is to change meaning, if ewe no what eye mean?
I may not always know the correct spelling of a word, but I can tell when something is wrong. For example, one of my students wrote a story about a girl in a
Muah, hah, hah.
I envisioned fiery red flames shooting from the character's waist while devowering everyone she ventures in contact with. Definitely not school appropriate as devil horns protrude from her evil skull.
Nada.
The little girl's story involved cute little bunnies hopping around colorful egg-filled baskets. Could she have meant satin?

The big O also stands for Oh, no!

Satan dress - I pictured Katniss wearing the fire dress:))
It's amazing how one letter misplaced can change the entire meaning of a sentence!
Spelling sure is important alright. One letter out of place and the meaning totally changes. And don't even get me started about texting and the misuse of your for you're! GRRR!Fun post as always!
I wonder if her parents kept it in her school momentos, lolol.
I think spelling is an important skill to learn. If you can't learn to spell, at least learn to use spell check. You can be the brightest crayon in the box and you misspell words and you will look like an idiot.

I always find spelling important espeshally with texts etc these days as it is harder to express yourself than when your actually talking phace to phace, don't you think Joise?
What a cute story. I hope she grows up and writes The Satan Dress though. It could top the Vampire charts!
If I had a do-over, I would have studied spelling a bit better. Both of my girls are experts at using an on-line or a paper dictionary and both are excellent spellers who I turn to when I need the correct spelling of a word.
Devowering?
That's funny!! Definitely not school appropriate!
Those poor singed bunnies in the basket.....
I think the flames at her "waste" may have been devouring everybody "incite" heeheeheehee

Made me smile - as always. :) Thanks!
Another funny letter! Can't wait to see what you do for Q,X and Z--of course those will be the calm ones! LOL Happy Thursday!
Haha! That is such a cute story! I love it -- I have red satan sheets, but they really are like Satan, because they always slip off, driving me insane. I must keep them away from my bed! :)
