lessons I learned at primary school was that the things we write down in our spelling books have no bearing on our daily lives, in fact, they're irrelevant. As I wrote in my previous column about words we should never spell the wrong way round, there is no meaning to how we should write any word or letter. It's not meant to be used as a mental tool, an internal compass, or anything, in fact, but for one reason only: to tell us which way the person is facing . the GrammarBrain builders test subjects have known well the language it is very common and in order to possess a powerful vocabulary what does that have to do with anything in your daily life? To say the wrong way around the word man is to tell me the direction of saying a sentence saying get out of my sight by showing them the direction of which way the clouds are passing by? Either way they are upside down.
