How we spell


These days everybody has access to some sort of electronic spell checker some computer word processor, personal digital assistant ( PDA ), smart phone, tablets to laptops. As far as personal texting is concerned miss spelling is a considered normal, but not vary professional care. Professional secretary shorthand is nothing but meanness goby-gook cluster of letters. But not to them. It's code. Well spelt office manuscript work gives the impression of well thought out professionalism

Spelling happens deep in our brain. It is a wonderful organic computer with a mind of it's own when it comes to learning. If something is not important our brain tends to automatically without thinking dismisses the information away. It is a part of our forget system. If it's not important we struggle to recall. If it's important we recall with ease.

We feel this rather bored and uninterested with the subject including being tough the spelling rules at school. Have you every been able to recall anything that was of no interest originally? On the flip side, we know how much detail we can recall when something was important to us we had concentrated in the first place.

There is a exception to the rule we notice a pattern in people seem to be predisposed as a great speller from birth. It could be an area of the brain that was well developed when growing in the womb.

When not very important we tend to forget straight away because the information It is not properly filed away in the memory files. The opposite, if anything is important we take notice and concentrate. Concentration is the key to memory and importance is the key to concentration. Let's see a non-programmed artificial intelligence automatically to do that sort of thing with information.

Our brain is active with what is important and not important to us every second from birth to death. Using the importance law files away the information how we learn.

Our brain is a filling system as equal to any electronic file system. It can think out the chaotic paten of a cross word puzzle. Computers can't figure out patens in chaos the way we can in random images patterns. Lets see a competition between the human brain and harking robots sort out those security code letters.

Our spelling skill relies heavily on how important spelling was in the first place. Anything that is important we automatically concentrate and automatically recall with ease. It is a struggle to recall spelling rules.

If spelling was important we we had concentrated where our brain filed away as memory. We recall well as second nature an automatic habit. Fast, office work reports on demand, every word spelt correctly and consistently with no need for proof reading is always impressive god dent to any office. The skill is worth a lot of money.

Poor spelling is a recall struggle to some of us. It has been the result of  uninteresting, our brain been constantly dismissing as not important information. We often felt a uninterested wondering off to what we felt was more important matters.

Importance is the key to our memory and well entrenched memory of the spelling rules is the key to being a great speller. Things have to be important to the brain to concentrate to remember well is that key to great speller. Often as not an exception to the rule great spellers  seem to be predisposed to be  great spellers. It could be a well developed area of the brain while growing in the womb.

Our brain is ordained as an interoperate of the pronunciation of the syllables that make up words that had heard in the womb and from birth onwards. It records the the sounds of the syllables every word we ever heard pronounced by others and filed away in our speech memory files.

Most of us are familiar with the spelling rules according to how important. If it was the recall of the spieling rules guide quickly and easily found from a dictionary or spell checker with out thinking.

Unfamiliar with spelling we can only turn to how our brain skill at filling away the pronunciation of words from birth. Poor spellers searching dictionaries and electronic spell checkers spelling by pronouncing the sound of every syllable ryes on this system of spelling. Our brain is skilled the use of our recall system of files of the sounds it leant from birth.

Listening to the pronunciation of the syllables as poor spellers sound them out, often look up in wrong places and electronic spell checkers are often no help either.

Dictionaries and electronic spell checkers are not geared up for wild card syllable pronunciation spelling of poor spellers. When a poor speller breaks down the syllables that make words, our brain is unique at memory recall memories of how each sound supplying files that are suggestions must spell like. Electronic spell checkers often help promote the brain recall multiple possible spelling option suggestions comes to their minds. "No that didn't seem to work. OK lets try this. No. Here's another idea" and so on.

One library book I encountered called 100 worlds, helped by miss spelling a word and the correct pronunciation broken into syllables. But often as not, is not enough much of as help to my wild card suggestions. There are always words I wanted I can't find including my word processor. Relying heavily on pronunciation for spelling every word as we write relies heavily on the development of our brain has learnt to pick up on the sounds we pounce syllable by syllable

A good example of this is the F sounds. Pronounce the "p" and "h" letters together. Some of us hear pih while others hear "fih". Try to spell a word like awesome by pronouncing it. We find depends on how we all learnt how we hear the syllables sounds to us. Without the spelling rules some may have heard awesome as "a sum" or spelt as "aw sum", as one word while others may have heard as "aws sum" some may even heard as "a sun" or "aws sun" and so on.

In retrospect, it is the way our brain hears others slang syllables in their speaking from birth and growing up.

Another example is persona. To a poor speller attempting to spell the word by pronouncing syllable by syllable. Our brain comes up with file suggestions the word persona sounding to spell as fas sonor. Second and third attempts in electronic spell checkers can be spelt as fasoner, fisoner to fisonor even with a lilted knowledge of the spelling rules my try phasoner to see what happens and so on. The right spelling for fashioner comes up as a correct spelling.

It is a confusing pattern relying on how our brain had learnt hear the sounds in the hearing of the sounds of syllables heard in every word in other people speaking patens. Our brain can only learn what we hear others pronouncing the syllables of every word we utter. 

Our brain is like an internet search engine search robot system when it comes to supplying information we need from memory. Search engines results found page is the electronic access pulls out an assembly of suggestions according to the keywords.

Operating on the same system our spelling by pronunciation file clerks goes to the filing cabinet on how to spell words in syllables it has saved in our learning processes since birth. When we try to spell by pronunciation alone our file clerks look up the files of the sounds of our pronunciation returning to us the with the file options of the syllables it found. A second processes involves the brains understand of connecting the options found as one word.

On the way millions of other memories associated to them also come to the surface and served to us.

If our file system has been filled with files on the rules of spelling. the spelling verse pronunciation will override the pronunciation files. Our files tell us to ignore the pronunciation with the spelling rule. We automatically out of habit know how to spell awesome correctly and consistently. Poor sellers relying on electronic spell checker programs will be more successful first time round more often.

Another pronunciation trap is the word "silent". Attempting to spell by pouncing alone our file system tells us to spell "sigh" and "lent" as one word. Files can also suggests filling in details as the "sigh" in silent is spelt as "sill".

Poor spellers relying on spell checkers will in time with experience learn new files added to their brain's memory files suggesting could be "cill" because the poor speller has lent electronic spell checker programs often come up with "s" sounds spelt as "c" completing the puzzle joining the two syllable sounds together as one word.

The correct syllable pronunciation is sil-ent. The file son the c spelling rules verses how they are prounced is familiar with the common dominator s sounds are spelt c. With the files on how the c should be spelt as is automatically spelt as "sih" sounds spelt as c without thinking about it.

The persistent not spelt that way by electronic spell checkers, though trial and error manipulation poor spellers will discover the correct spelling. The brain considerers persistent trial and error is important. It will automatically note the correct spelling filling away in the spelling memory files as the correct spelling file. The poor speller can easily recall the correct spelling effortlessly from there on.

Some of us poor spellers have problems with the cliché saying "i before except after c" spelling rule. To most of us we can evaluate the information and file away in our word memory files. Others like Autistic people are not so lucky. The "except after c" makes the whole rule meaningless because the sentence is like a mouthful to them. They are often afraid of mouthful sentences much to be avoided.

Two ideas in one sentence is contradictory causing confusion specially to Autism tending to avoid like the plague to learn. It is better to learn i before e is clear first. After that, exception word examples are made clear. Provided it is important enough for concentrations the exception examples made clear are filed in the word memory files making "except after c" clear creating a file of that.

To autism the same rule rephrased i before e, except any word spelt with the e after the c. Depending of the sere rarity of the autism may even still b a mouthful. Their brain's spatial understand is not well developed.

Plague is another example of the pronunciation verse the spelling. Those familiar with the spelling rules will automatically spell the correct spelling with out thinking while other may attempt sayimg out loud the file clerk issuing a file to spell as playg.

Apart from the difference between British and American spelling for example breaking down words out loud pronunciation correctly an attempt would be spelt as "fin nom en num". ( Phenomenon ) Others spell as fin nom e um or fen no men un. To the frustration of poor spellers spell checkers and dictionaries not such word is listed. Compare the correct syllables  Phen o men on. Dichotomies and spell checkers don't recognize the wild cards of our syllable pronunciation hearing.

Syllable is other word that be tried to be spelt sil lible  incorrectly spelt trying out the way we have leant to hear the word in our minds Try saying the letters "s" "y" "l"  together. It sounds like like sill to us. If there was a dictionary in numerical order the way look up the word as sillible. This person may not have heard the word as sill able but heard as sill ible. Next the correct word syl-able pointing out the pronunciation we have learnt  to hear by, verses the way it is spelt  It will may help poor spellers to remember to spell sillible as syl and then able as one word.

We're often frustrated when our electronic spell checker doesn't recognize any spelling attempt or can't find the word in a dictionary.  Mate and rial, with rail spelt incorrectly with the i before a spells material correctly.   

The worst part about dictionaries for us poor spellers they assume to much us poor spellers know about how we could be pronouncing syllables incorrectly thus looking in the wrong place. It never occurs  to expert dictionary writers some of us my hear the syllables of words differently than they think we should.

They haven't learnt to recognize the sound of "ph" expecting the sound of Photograph as Fo toe graf fitting together from familiar words. The way some of us hear the word can be heard phonetically different spelt to them.  Most education experts don't like the idea of going to the trouble to produce a dictionary that caters for phonetic spellers as a lot of the words will not be in alphabetical order that us phonetic spellers don't guess right spelling phonetically.

Take for example the word guess.  To most of us we'd attempt gess. But the correct pronunciation of each syllable is gu - ess. We'd be searching in ge not realizing we should be looking under gu. With such books we'd find guess where we'd expect it to be but discovering the gu in guess is really the correct spelling. Another word can be heard spelt like business as bis-in-niss the correct spelling as business.

Learning to spell the word can be learning to pronounce syllables the way spelt correctly thus the spelling  as easy words they already know how to spell as bus-sin- ness approach. No wonder they can't find the word in dictionaries looking under.

Some spell checker programmers hadn't program or PC software to recognize "nes ling"  as nestling the program keeps insisting  No recommendations. Spell checkers depend on how good an artist the programmer was at programming spell check software to recognize incorrect phonetically spelt syllables.

At this point even dictionaries become useless since if the user cannot get a checker to recognize their spelling attempts the user's equally frustrated in the time consuming waited effort in not finding the word in a dictionary as well. Dictionaries religiously designed for alphabetical listing to the letter, trying to spell how the word might be spelt by how it sounds are often looking in the wrong place. Trying to spell how it sounds these people my never find the word in alphabetical order placement. Consequently they don't trust dictionaries and spell checkers.

These poor spellers are experienced at trying to spell words phonetically as they write because frustrated by the time consumption not finding the word they need spelling phonetically.

Like electronic spell checkers most teaches reviewing pupils work don't recognize phonetic spelling attempts and fail to appreciate to recognize the other wise good work, thus giving poor marks for the whole work rather than just the spelling. If all English words were spelt as prounced these people would experience far less problems with teacher grades dictionaries and electronic spell checkers.

Poor spelling is a characteristic of  Autism suffers because of the frustration of seemingly complex spelling rules to remember. People with this kind of condition tend to be very poor at handling complex rules.
