Hello Gerry,  Yes it is best to do the spelling right as you indicate but I 
guess the reason I don't even hear the spelling any more.  I just hear the 
words.  I have been using C W for close to fifty
years and use it daily and a while ago one of my Grand kids ask me about the 
code, I had a hard time remembering the dits and daws of the letters.  Funny 
how it works.  73 Ed  K7UC
