Most people master spelling by the time they are ten...

Most of the words I work with are rarely in such a young vocabulary.

So when you have spelling problems, it makes you look like a dummy.

You'd be surprised how stupid most people seem to me, particularly those who get hung up on trivialities. This makes them look shallow, self-important, uninteresting, and unimaginative. Poor spelling has never killed anyone. Overlooking critical concepts certainly has.

Oh, no, this doesn't surprise me at all.

I do find it mildly puzzling that you don't realize what this reveals about your personality, nor how well it explains why you are out of work and can't get a job.

But it's not at all uncommon for people who are rigid and maladaptive to have very poor insight.

Yeah...there was no one on the space vehicle where "inch" got spelled "cm". :)
