Spelling? He's Norwegian, enlightened one!

It's quite idiotic how so many native English speakers try to assert their superiority by criticizing non-native speakers spelling errors. In how many foreign languages can you write without making any spelling errors?
Calm down, Polly. I don't recall claiming enlightened status. I can speak and write both English and American, so there. I'm still working on a third, Slang, but the going is tough.

I come to this boards, seeking advice from people i see as enlightned. The matter at hand is a personal issue really, but i feel that it affect more than just me. And that its a rather classical issue.

Me and my littlebrother are fairly different when it comes to personal traits. Im just gonna narrow it down real simple, so that people get my question.

You shouldn't really need praise from your parents for toy intellect. You should see it as some kind of advantage, a gift you have you don't need them to tell you you are intelligent to be intelligent. They might respect you more if you use it what are good doing with yourself apart from whining on chess website? Got a good job you are good at and enjoy? Getting a good education to exercise that oh so but head of yours?

One reason that people might thing of your borther as 'better' is because you can see upon entering a room his mucles but your brain could be anyones. Use it and they might respect you more. Personaly if you have an IQ of 150 and you are working a s**t job you hate then I have little respect for you.
