A man who tries to friend me on FB and claims his school was Wellesley College is doomed from the start.

True - I know several transgendered people. But if this individual were faculty or alumna, he would be able to spell....

Now that's a dead giveaway.

Not to be rude or validate the presumed-creep, but the assumption that a Wellesley graduate would automatically be able to spell is a trap one should not fall into.

Spelling ability/inability does not automatically correlate with intelligence or education. I've known many brilliant people who are terrible spellers, most notably my late husband, Johan.

I'm a pretty good speller myself (typos aside), so it took me a long time to learn that lesson.
