Are you a victim of text messaging, typing "CU L8R" instead of "See you later"? Do mysterious voices tell you to use "their" and "there" interchangeably? Don't know the difference between "its" and "it's"? Have you often had to deal with, um. . . embarrassing vowel movements? Suffer no more--help is on the way!
Meet Dr. Laurie E. Rozakis--professor, best-selling author, English expert, and reformed terrible speller. Having corrected the many errors of her ways, she has a mission: to convert even the world's worst English speller into an incredible spelling machine.
