I agree, and I apologize for my limitations, no insult nor offense was
intended.
It's real tricky when I googled Barnard Rustin the name came up; one would have
to KNOW that was the wrong spelling.
I use and interpret the words of spell check poorly ( I get better results with
my Franklin Computer Speller).
Please understand, and hear this, I care about spelling the names of all
persons correctly. I've said for many decades that our names are one of the
few things most of us own out-right. Yes, names are deserving of accurate
spelling and pronunciation.
This is a frustration I've lived with perhaps so long, I've gotten jaded about
it.
I will commit to double my level of alertness when dealing with proper names in
future.
BTW, did I not ask you after I attended the Jan. PNB meeting in New Jersey for
your help to proof read my work. I've also asked Wendy S. and others for help
in recent weeks, as I have from time to time for decades.
I don't have the time or luxury to hold off expressing myself, or wait to
forward the urgent business of the pmia, till I have found help, an assistant,
secretary, or lover.
Respectfully to all, all I can do, IS All I Can Do!
Still doing my best,

Actually, my brother, there are only one type of names or words that merit
proper spelling (and even pronunciation) and these are proper names.
All the others do not really matter much.
But a given name has much in it and respect is one.
It's not about education. It's about google and web dictionary.
We should never have to say that we do not have time to know someone's name
or culture or history.

My thanks to Robert Knight, and others.
I
admire you, and all the people who've learned to spell and punctuate,
however all too often a skill under and often misused.
My thanks
to those who have taken time to correct the consequence of my low
aptitude to learn to regurgitate the illogical rules of spelling, the
so
call "English Language". It is known in most circles that calling
English "a language" may be an ongoing act of generosity by the people
of the world.
The good news is that the primary function of any
language (spoken, written or signed) is to be understood by those in
agreement. I'm encouraged by the fact that so many knew and understood
sufficient to spell check my offerings.
"Formal" so call
education is over rated especially by those who are/were burdened with
discharging their egregious and oppressive "student loan(s)".
What masquerades as education in the "West", North, East and
South, upon closer examination is in truth a "social conditioning
process" that trains "students" to think, and accept a station in life
assigned to them by others, while at the same time believing that life
outcomes were due to their personal choices, and short comings.
Having been a "good student" and a "good speller" are "markers"
that (most times) indicate limited capacity to think independently,
trust oneself, take risk, and live outside "The Box".
Truly, I
would welcome an honest offer to spell check (with no editing) my work,
so as not continue to offend or embarrass the Robert Knights of the
world.
Ponder the thought: "Education You Pay For Knowledge and Wisdom is
Free".
