La ortografía es la rama de la gramática que se ocupa de la escritura correcta. Por convencionales que resulten las reglas que regulan la ortografía, es obligación de todos los usuarios de nuestra lengua conocer dichas reglas a fin de utilizarla con la mayor corrección. La enseñanza de esta normativa se encuentra rodeada de una, a mi juicio correcta, mala fama que lleva a un cierto menosprecio de la ortografía (siendo este un efecto desdichado). Efectivamente, la memorización de un enorme número de reglas, de carácter poco general las más de ellas, con un sinnúmero de excepciones, ha supuesto un tormento para generaciones de escolares.

The Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care, the only organization in the nation devoted to end-of-life concerns in the Chinese community, is an active working coalition of over 80 organizations and a total of almost 1300 individuals.

The CACCC was formed in December 2005 to address the lack of linguistically and culturally appropriate end-of-life information and training available to the Chinese community and those who serve it. The CACCC incorporated in 2007, and achieved 501c3 tax-exempt status in the same year. A Board of Directors - 15 dedicated volunteers - sets policy for the organization. It uses the facilities of its member organizations for trainings and meetings. The coalition’s focus is helping Chinese Americans with advance care planning, assisting with palliative care and pain management, providing respite and hospice volunteer training, targeting education for members of the Chinese-American community, and meeting the critical need of educating health care professionals who serve Chinese Americans.
