We're losing the ability to spell words "correctly" and, with all of the electronic marvels that helped bring this about, I can't see it improving, ever. I went to a one room country school where spelling bees were a common occurrence. I remember getting downgraded from an A to a B one time on a paper I wrote for spelling practically the way I just did. Teacher (an old, old spinster) insisted that it was "practickly". I disagreed until she showed me, in her 1909 dictionary, that "practickly" was indeed the preferred spelling. I never, in all my days, ran into anyone else who spelled it that way and all of the dictionaries in the world since about 1939 have dropped her way of spelling it. There are lots of incorrect usages and spellings on this forum and many others, too. "I want to go to town, too" is a good way to remember the usage of "to/too. Carrying too much loose change in your pocket could result in losing some of it. Hydraulics on Allis Chalmers tractors almost always results in some hilarious misspellings.
