Correct Spelling

To encourage better spelling, somebody on the Chicago Daily News put up this notice on the bulletin board:

"Let's set our sights high. Let's learn to spell JUDGMENT correctly. Let's repeat to ourselves each day, 'Today I will spell JUDGMENT without an E.' Who shall be the first to announce this accomplishment. Praise be unto him.

Deranged."

Right next to this a reporter pinned up:

"Dear Deranged,

I tried to spell judgment without an 'e' and it came out judgmnt. Now I'm in a prdicamnt.

Confusd."
