Urbane_Guerrilla: @Anonymous: It's... not the typing. But taking phonics (available online for using in the privacy of your room) will fix the real problem. "Phonics" is a course that rehearses all the ways English uses its twenty-six letters to write down its forty or so sounds. It educates you in the spelling rules (multiple) that literate English uses. (We'd need a 40-character alphabet to write it fonetik.) All the ways, and which ways go with which words -- this is what phonics teaches, and it's a fast and easy way to learn it too. Makes something like "The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs Through The Dough" -- *5* different pronunciations of -ough -- into something actually fun.
