RE: If Young Abe Lincoln Had Lived Today....
I love this cartoon. Bill, I also suppose spelling skills suffer from texting and auto-correction programs. In 1864, Lincoln himself admitted spelling deficiencies: "I am sometimes puzzled to know how to spell the most common word...one word...is 'very'. I used always to spell it with two r's - verry. And then there was another word which I had been spelling wrong until I came here to the White House...It is 'opportunity'. I had always spelled it, 'oppertunity'." So - no obstacle for presidency...
