NSN A392-99-964-5927 writes: Ecuador has granted political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who requested it after the British Supreme Court refused to reopen his appeal against extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over alleged sex crimes.

Ecuador took a long time to assess the request, but finally announced that asylum had been granted on August 14th.

WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the country’s London embassy since June 19.

The asylum guarantees him safe passage from the UK to Ecuador, says Professor Donald Rothwell from the Australian National University College of Law.

Haven spoken to a few friends, this has also become apparent to them too; namely putting a real pen to paper, I am frustrated how to spell correctly, as I am so used to using a keyboard and where the letters are.

I have noticed that my grammer is also effected, and maybe this is because I have spent too much time on IRC and lowered mt standards.

Hand-written words are now becoming obsolete. There is no need to think about writing anymore or how something is spelled using computers, I wanted to know if other slashdoters have the same problem?

One should add that I am used to Telex machines; which should give you and indication of how old I am."
