Not another John! Well, in this country (UK) you have to provide your name
and address, but it doesn't have to be published. You can request that those
details are withheld. You also have no control over editing, but on the
couple of occasions I have written to the local press, I have requested that
they publish the whole thing or not at all. They usually accept that.

Yep - another John - that is one of the reasons I post as Ærchie.
Once upon a time, shortly after the revered WG Grace retired, I was
playing in a cricket match. A batsman skied a ball into the point area
and the skipper called "JOHN" - - - - - -
Five of us collided as we all tried to take the catch. Every one of us
was "John". I rapidly became "Macca" to lessen the confusion.
As far as newspapers go, here they ask for your full name and address,
then phone to confirm that it is in fact you who sent them the letter.
(I do it via email.) Then they just print the name and the suburb.

"weighing", which is one of those words where the mnemonic is totally
useless - maybe it's "i" before "e" except after "c" and before "g"? I

It is "i" before "e" except after "c" or when sounded like "a" as in
"neighbour" or "weigh".

follow your lead.

$500 was sorta s'posed to read $50, so you wouldn't have come close anyway

You will be happy to know that I just completed your registration. You are
enrolled for Spelling Lessons 601 (you're too advanced for 101). If you are
sure you can handle her torture, you may go stand in the line for the next
available lesson. Ready for the business Spelling Mistress? This one needs
some extra special tort...treatment I mean.
Head Mistress Extraordinaire <administrative genius at work> ;)

Hey Cybe, you got it wrong. The Head Mistress doesn't follow any lead.
<yanking the leash> Come along now, there's some lessons to be learned.
