Maybe your teachers let you get away with everything.  But your are
wrong, lack of adequate spelling and grammar is not at all, from where
we stand, an indication of stupidity.  In fact, complete inability to
spell or write may be an indication of sheer intelligence.  But here is
what we have to say on that matter - that the incapacity to communicate
and think is well evidenced in the web amongst artsy-fartsy types, on
the wake, no, no, no, of Artaud or Isan or Ginsberg, but of mental
incompetents like Sollers and, suddenly, all the mediocre and debile
ones got a promotion - since they too can hide their incapacity to think
and articulate, and their ignorance of words and concepts in a
fashionable (for that is all it
is), politically correct, free for all botching of any and every
communication or text.  So then, we get the quality we deserve.  And it
too reflects the depth of dedication and desire to communicate which
marks this List.  After all, if you do not intend to say what you mean,
why say it at all?

PS - What is intolerable, is prigs that cannot articulate, spell, think
or utter.
