Increasingly sarcastic, yet even more hilarious, comment mocking spelling difficulties. Brief paragraph that concisely and lucidly expostulates an idea in hitherto unthought-of ways, with typical dazzling brilliance and limber wordplay, and with light touches of humor that nevertheless put to shame attempts at same by lesser mortals. A single sentence of such transcendent genius that the entire future course of the world is irrevocably altered upon its writing.
