In Reply to: I wonder about that scene as well posted by 3thoubucks from host-66-81-124-41.rev.o1.com (66.81.124.41) on Monday, November 18, 2002 at 4:05pm :

That it is a commentary added by Spielberg about the American culture. For some reason, people think that spelling ability is linked to intelligence, when, of course, every right-minded person knows it is not. Indiana Jones, a very intelligent man (a doctor, in fact) may not be able to spell what he is writing on the board. Thus, because he is checking his spelling, he is rewarded with an apple and the admiration of a hot chick. Thus, the scene shows that the United States, in all its narrow-minded ways of thinking, should embrace those people, like Indiana Jones, who can not spell. They should be rewarded for at least trying, as Indy was in this scene.
