II A PLF.A FOR THE BAD SPELLING OF ,s EDUCATED WRITERS. |<1 * ietters That Will Twist Themselves Into : 1 Wrong Positions?Words Which Pre- 1 j Rent Two Faees?Mental Peculiarities? J Cases With a Tinge of Koinance. It is likely to bo insisted upon by those t>f a pedagogic turn of mind that an educatel person must never make a mistake in * spelling, or that the least blunder in the I grouping together of the letters forming a 1 word is a convincing proof that the intol- i lectual training of an individual is far from , ^ being perfect. It will bo found in daily ex- [ perience that to bo absolutely perfect in I spelling is by no means to be ta:cen as the ! criterion of an educated man or woman. ! 3 There are the queerest and strangest twists j ? in a man's mind, for there aro cortain words j \ over which people stumble, and they will j live all their lives in a h:i/.y condition about j the spelling of them. Here is a roaliy curious case of a liter- j c ary man, who contributes very clever tic- J tion to the magazines. This is his absolute ? and truthful confession: "I am afraid to | give my material to an editor who is not i <? thoroughly acquainted with me or my an- j s tecedents, and who has not already bought ray stories, or who does not know that what 1 f writo neonla like to read for I am that | ^ unfortunate creature whoso spoiling may " be good or had according to circumstances. In other words, I belong to that miserable ^ catagory of human beings who are to be i classed among the 'accidental spoilers.''j AVhat do I mean by that.' I may write fifty | pages of manuscript with very few errors, i j of spelling, then all of a sudden on page lifty-one will come blunder after blunder, j Words correctly spelled and usod over and | over are all wrong now. My mind of a ' j sudden halts and refuses to arrange the letters properly. My little boy of S years '' old would deserve a thrashing for such t vulgar blunders. My wife will sometimes j read my copy and clean it up, but when 1,1 am in a hurry I can not wait for her. i j A STOEY OK HUMILIATION. "Do you want to listen to the story of my !?' humiliation? I took a book I had made |, soma tim-j ago to a well-known publisher. ; t He knew me by reputation, and 11 r was politely received. The subject I had ! J. chosen seemed to suit him He had the j * temerity to read the first page of my man- j uscript; then ho suddenly halted, and I was " at once aware that ho had found certainly one, maybe half a dozen, mistakes in spelling. Under ordinary circumstances 1 might have corrected the blunders, but if the sale j of my wom, or my life, had depended on | spelling right off the doubtful words I could j not have done it. I had no idea how to ! spell them. I was couseious that they were 1 wrong, but the geography, the picture, of -J the word had entirely faded out of my mind. 1 might have said to that lewildered publisher, 'I will spell those words qui do correctly to day or to-morrow, but just now it is impossible.' Fortunately it did not hurt the value of the work, for that intelligent and forgiving publisher bought that book. I feel very much ashame I of my- I self, however, whenever I see him. I fancy | my mistakes arise from some sudden oblit- : eration of the mental faculties, for the con- j j fusion is not permanent. It goes and comes, j If I say to myself, 'Now watch out and see j | that you pay particular attinuon to your ^ speiling,' 1 could not produce a hundred words consecutively. Yes, it worries ma. "Hvire is an instanca happening to m.3 today: lam very much interested ia abstract science, and am reviewing for a periodical I a series of works on a particular topic, and | j have to take copious notes. I wrote the ; <j simple word 'mauy' 'maney.' I don't think I over put the 'e' in before. That extra 'e' fascinated me. I was conscious that it looked funny and original. It seemed ludicrous, and it annoyed me. Then, after a j while, I did not know whether it was right I s, or wrong. I had to call on my little girl t and ask her to spell 'many' for me. As jc long as I live 1 never shall write 'made' and ; 'maid' without suyin^ at tbem. The verb ! and the noun are utterly distinct, but never- j theless I have to think whether 'The Made j of Orleans' is right as far as it refers to j Joan of Arc. It's a ti\ek of forty odd 11 years standing. 'Despair' is another word, jSl I despair of ever writing it without a feeling of uncertaint}'. I want to make it 'despare.' I have a pitch battle with my pen ; before I can work in the i, and as often as ; " not I put in the i after the word is written. ' p 1 won't write 'desperate' if I ever can help ,c it, but must write 'de^pairate.' It's my j worst case of mixing words. 1 speak j French and [German fluently, read Italian j - and Spanish with east1, I delight in tiio ^ Roman poets, and am distinguished for bad 11 spelling in three languages, i do not brazen i f( it out I do not say, 'I don't care.' ij . rather solicit your pity for a; very sad in- ; c firmity." Ik THE MENTAL PECULIARITIES. j ^ In order to satisfy one's self how strange | are these idiosyneracies, it is only necessary j * for the reader, without going into the spell- i> ing bee annoyance, to ask his friends in re- ; a j:ard to their peculiarties ot'spelling. It is ex- j ceedingly rare to lind only one who does not tell me that he halts over certain words. A gentleman who in his professional duty reads all the leading journuls ot the United States declares that the words most Ire- J quently mispelled are "lose"' and loose," for j both editors and uroof readers seom to be at ! sea in regard to them. Working only on the threshold of this subject, tho mental ( peculiarities are as various as curious, and | are quite as marked among tho individuals I forming the staff ot' a newspaper, from tho editor-in-chief down to tho reporter, as any- | where else. Everybody has a word or two, J somo any quantity of them, that they aro j, always uncertain about, and the word is | written by them as often wrongly as rightly, j end what is worse there seems to bo no cure I for such mistakes. | -j Here is a final case, with a slight tinge of j j romance to it. A college-bred man, a gradu- j1 ate with honors, addressed a young lady, j11 and was referred to tho young person's j . father. Permission to press his suit could not be made verbally to the father, who was absent, and accordingly tho young man y wrote a letter. A reply came promptly | enough, but not of a pleasing character, j * The father, a highly educated man, and i j somewhat of a purist, was shocked with sev- j opal li?H hliinfli?r?i nf miKllimr in t.htt lf.t.lMf ! - ? . ~ o i and he so informed his daughter. "Whether | it was excitement, or what not, could not bo i r determined, but the consequences to thu ! i suitor were likely to bo distressing. .Subse ! t quent correspondence showed that the possi- , y bk> son-ic law was really an educated man, j and matters were arranged. But from an 4te" cut of place and a double l't,!' or one too f man^'"l's," or mixing up an "sie"' with a * "cei" the fortunes of two young people came near being shipwrecked. "After all, spelling is a mechanical rather than a mental process" say those who make the mistakes.?A'ew York Times. m Making Killed Tools in 182(1.
