Most of what Henry Adams learned me in skool about how one writes good

[alice wellintown]

1. I learned that english needs a capital E and that speeling in
English is something many just get and some never do,there is some
research that confirms a correlation of early fluid literacy with poor
spelling, so teach late but not slow learners,  but then and than,
these corect and definite elements of style grow stiff, are enforced,
not by bedals wielding Gradgrind meter sticks, but by light speed
magick that cast them in paper weight stones and these thenspill over
the reading rainbow into spells cast by pedantic grammararians and
enforced by a big yellow bird on TV and are recent conventions that
great American writers wrote with a beautiful hand but with more
liberal letter contiguity; the palmer method took much of the curling
out to compete with the type machine, whose keys were set, not to the
music of the human hand or mind, but to keep the pace without sticking
the hammers at the ink ribbon so often.
