I make many spelling mistakes, especially when I am posting from my Iphone or Ipad, as they have a Dutch spellcheck on them. So English words can turn into Dutch words without me noticing.

I know a lot about a few types of beads, and little or nothing about most. However, that has not stopped me from joining a brainstorm about beads I have no knowledge of. I think that through the process of guessing and matching different perspectives, knowledge is created. Someone may know about glass, someone else may have knowledge of tools, someone may know more about the history of a culture and someone else may have travelled to the place the beads came from. All put together, we know a lot.
