Few what?

few countiries ago as I said

That's incorrect. What you said was "conutieis". Now, you've written
"countiries". Want to go for "countries"?

How about a spell checker? Or maybe just some proofreading?

I could have reasonably deduced "countries" from your "countiries", but
I would never have gotten it from "conutieis".

It's still not clear that the word is "countries".

If the word "countries" is correct, then we still have some problems
with the meaning:

"I live in the US was born Prague which was few [countries?] ago over
there."

Were you born *in* Prague? Did you really mean that Prague was a few
countries ago? Prague still exists. Did you mean that Prague is in a
different country than it used to be in? That would be correct, but it
was only one country ago. It was in Czechoslovakia; now it is in the
Czech Republic. How much chaff are we to go through to arrive at what
you meant to convey?

Mark's philosophy is that if you can't understand what he wrote,
no matter how bolluxed up, it's *your* fault and *your* problem,
not his. That's obviously illogical.

There's a limit to even the best error-correcting codes. But they
all depend on the message being correct when transmitted...
