A note about spelling;

FYI I am the best speller in my house. And the fact that that statement is true is an inconceivably huge joke. I would be hard pressed to find a report card of mine that did not include the two phrases "poor penmanship" and "spelling needs improvement".
There are, however, a few words that I spell the way I spell them because I have declared them so spelled! Does that make any sense?
I have declared the words 'alot' and 'atleast' to each be one word, not two words each, a lot & at least, as recommended by every spellchecker I have encountered. I believe there are other words that I have declared the spelling of, but I can't remember them right now. I'll let you know when they come up.
I just didn't want you to think I was making thoughtless mistakes - I am, infact, making informed decisions and they are spelled that way because I have decided it so.
Too bad I can't seem to take charge of the rest of my life as that way - just decide that it is so...
PS - I know, I know, this was not a "real post". I have not forgotten my promise to post soon. I guess "soon" is such a relative term...
PSS You can add the word 'infact' to "my declared so spelled" list too!
