That being said, I don't think it is a stretch at all to say that someone who is extremely intelligent may suck at spelling. Some of the most intelligent people I know (astrophysicists, molecular geneticists, neurosurgeons, etc) are terrible at spelling - especially on phones/computers.

So I really don't see how spelling is indicative of intelligence or precludes one from being intelligent, extreme or otherwise.

You are absolutely right @AllAboutLove. I had written a paper on Einstein in HS and he sucked at spelling. I think all of us can agree that he was highly intelligent. Smiley

This list also includes some other people who were considered intelligent but were bad spellers.

Lol, I didn't mean to insinuate I thought he was Einstein. I would love to see Nick play a game of wit or trivia with anyone from this franchise! I do hope to see he and V one day on CH millionaire playing for V's charity!

That would be great. It could bring in funds plus further awareness of No Better You.

I'm an atrocious speller. Spell check usually handles that. And speaking of Einstein, he is now thought to have had Asperger Syndrome partially because he required someone to assist him in orientation around campus as he had "body in space" problems. Ironic given his life's work.
IMO highly intelligent people focus more on ideas as they are adept at higher levels of thinking. I used to administer IQ tests.

Nick was intelligent enough to get rid of Corinne before the FSD's. I would say that is genius! giggling

I think he has street smarts, great life philosophies and is a deep thinker.

I'm not sure how Nick would fare in trivia though...V seems more cultured and would have the upper hand in that.

Give Nick movie trivia and IMO he'd smoke them all. He sure knows his movie's as proven time and time again by the one liner movie quotes.

Well he certainly knows the songs to Little Mermaid....

I seriously doubt that was his decision JMO

I think tptb wanted to keep her as long as possible, not Nick.
