My six-year-old daughter is learning to write and this Easter I received a sweet card from her. She gave it to me with such pride and joy. I smiled as I glanced at it and asked, “Did you spell Easter all by yourself?” “Yes, mommy I sounded it out.” “Well that was good sounding it out. You wrote it just the way they say it here.” The card read “Happy ESTU” (You see here in Australia, R’s are dropped at the ends of words and often the vowel sound before it is changed. So it was perfectly logical that my daughter would think E-S-T-U would be the correct spelling.)
