Decline & Fall: Celebiation of learnin

And that, Alanis, is irony. Via Cake Wrecks, one of my favorite humor blogs.

I understand that many bakery workers are recent immigrants, and their English may not be perfect. (This is not a criticism. The average immigrants command of English is far superior to my command of anything else, much to my personal shame.)

But just as medical professionals should know something about medicine and firefighters must be experts in fighting fires, people who get paid to write words (whether professional writers, editors and academics at one end of the spectrum, or sign makers and cake decorators at the other) should know how to spell. Certainly such a professional, whether highly paid or not, should celebrate learning, and perhaps even know how to spell it.
