LEONA PAYNE spoke of busy-ness to ALL  on 10-04-96
LP>Hello,
LP>I haven't been very active here lately (altho' I have been keeping up
LP>with most of what's been happening in the echo.)
LP>For what it's worth in regard to the invented spelling issue...I seem
LP>to remember being told in some university pedagogy class that it
LP>takes an average of only two to three repetitions to learn something,
LP>but it takes an average of 27-30 reps to UNlearn something
LP>incorrectly learned.
LP>As a student, I was never corrected on certain words & STILL have
LP>problems remembering how to spell responsi/responsability.  I KNOW
LP>it's responsi, but I WANT to spell it responsa, because that's the
LP>way I **always** did it & I never got it marked wrong.  Oh, well.
Great Leona...but approximated spellings are not learned spellings and 
do NOT have to be unlearned.  Most people misunderstand this point and 
many seem to ignore it altogether.
