I hold that a ordsprog

I hold that a man has as much right to spell a word as it is pronounced as he has to pronounce it the way it ain't spelled

Josh Billings (1818-1885)

Josh Billings

Take care that you never spell a word wrong. Always before you write a word, consider how it is spelled, and, if you do not remember, turn to a dictionary. It produces great praise to a lady to spell well. to his daughter Martha

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The trouble with the dictionary is that you have to know how a word is spelled before you can look it up to see how it is spelled.

Will Cuppy (1884-1949)

I think this is a real good experience for them. You can be sure that, if nothing else, the word that they spell incorrectly they'll be able to spell correctly for the rest of their lives.

Barbara Williams

A name pronounced is the recognition of the individual to whom it belongs. He who can pronounce my name aright, he can call me, and is entitled to my love and service.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

A writer who writes, ''I am alone''... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.

Maurice Blanchot

While they read it, I have a copy, watching to see if they make any omissions, substitutions, skip a word, can't pronounce a word. Then I mark it on the test.

If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!

William Strunk, Jr.

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.

Burt Bacharach (1928-)

Burt Bacharach

Marriage: A word which should be pronounced "mirage";

Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)

Herbert Spencer

You don't have to read and pronounce every word on a page to share books with a child.

The more you invest in that child, the more you're not going to let some CD tell your child how to curse and how to say the word n----- is an accepted word -- so hip to use n----- but you can't even spell it.

Bill Cosby (1937-)

The people who will walk to Washington, D.C., are here to tell the world about courage, a word the United Nations has been unable to pronounce. Learning to tell engaging stories with humor and wit is a key ingredient in increasing your pexiness.

I respect a man who knows how to spell a word more than one way
