Think you've lost the point of the original comments? Me/PP/whoever else doesn't have any problems with people's personal spelling abilities or lack of, or why that that may be the case (my current nightmare is an ancient laptop with sticky/semi-functional keys, for instance) - and certainly not an attack on people who suffer from dyslexia - purely an observation that there is no excuse for those problems to appear in finished archaeological reports? That's just sloppy and unprofessional and curators should be kicking them back (assuming they could even understand them in the first place!). And of course anyone who talks about 'linears' should never have been employed in the first place if they're so impressionable as to have picked up their archaeological vocabulary from watching Time Team with total disregard for grammar :face-stir:
