Hey guys, I'm glad that you all stick up for one another re: unnecessary comments. Regardless of age, we all are continuing to learn, we are different and each of us has different strengths. I used to work for a family who was from Newfoundland, and as Tristan's spelling goes, I was able to "read" alot of my old boss'es accent in his message, (just you can sometimes vaguely tell a person's age and place of origin by their handwriting). Once I knew that he was from up there I could hear Myra saying his words in her Newfoundland-Scottish dialect - so I'm guessing that alot of what you're reading isn't so much spelling as dialect being spelled phonetically. He's spelling the way I think he's hearing everybody speak. Myra, Hazel, Mabel and Audrey all said "anouter" when they were saying "an other", and they all pronounced August and Birthday the way he has spelled them, just as you might read them said in dialogue. Keep talking, Tristian, I love it!
