I'm trying to make sense of this:
"Spelling is the correct retrieval of sequentially stored, virtually random bits of information" --Andrew Pudewa

Never heard of Andrew Pudewa before today so I "ducked" your quote, Mater, and found his name, then I "ducked" his name and got:

Andrew Pudewa is the director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing and a father of seven. Traveling and speaking around the world, he addresses issues related to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor.

Who can rewrite this sentence:
