I think you're missing the humor in the "choice" of word misspelled. If you're going to criticize Fred's intelligence, you should take care to ensure that you spell intellectual correctly. Otherwise, it puts quite a damper on your argument. If I was getting heart surgery, I would want my surgeon

When I misspelled the word intellectual I wasn't referring to certain people whose language skills revolve around being spell checkers. It is always a thrill to trample on somebody else's language, mostly when they can't utter a single word on any other except their own language, much less addr

Well, I lived the spanish transition [1]. I don't know if it is the same thing, but, let me say that it was a very confusing time. People thought sometimes that constitution must be done by teachers in primary schools. That counciousness of the individual role in public things, although naive, was

In Modern Standard Arabic, the word "destour" or "dustur" denotes "constitution". I don't think there is double meaning intended here. Tunisia is one of the more modernized countries in the Arab world and people there have relatively good connection to the Internet. I don't know the exact number

Well, as far as I see, it seems to be a charming, naïf initiative, but very interesting anyway. Destour has a local and not easy to translate meaning. I think it means both a political party involved in Tunis independence and also an aspirtation to become a constitutional country. I don't really kn
