Over vacation this summer, I read Taylor Branch's remarkarblr works on Martin Luther King.   And I was encouraged to read that King was a horrible speller.

 So am I.

As I tell students, "everyone has something" when it comes to writing.  The problem for many is that they let a single weakness inhibit them.  

King created a collection of work that changed America, though he needed an editor to clean up his spelling.  That should build confidence in all writers.
