I've previously blogged about being taught ITA spelling at primary school. About how it causes me spelling problems. I was reminded of this when speaking to Geir Amdal at the excellent Agile Coach Camp in Oslo.
Geir showed me this wonderful blog post with lovely twist on the famous quote:
Knowledge is power.
Francis Bacon
It reminded me of something my Mum used to say to me when I was little:
Hunger is the best source.
For many many years I didn't understand what she was saying. I was seeing the word sauce as source. She was actually saying:
Hunger is the best sauce.
Food tastes better when you're hungry. Reflecting on my confusion I realize I'm actually quite proud of this mistake. This was a long time ago remember. I was a small boy at the time. Even then, it seems, software was calling me.
