JA's spelling Written by Cheryl (6/19/2006 6:48 p.m.)

I found JA's quirky spelling to be quite charming, and really, very sensible in some places. I mean, of course "dutchess" should be spelled like that! And she's quite consistent with her "i before e" mistake a la "freindship" and "releive."

Some other favorites:

intreaties
wonderfull and deceitfull, chearfull, etc
lossed (instead of "lost")
sympithy
encreased

What did you think of JA's youthful spelling? Did it bother you, or did it enhance (or should that be "inhance??") the story?
