Hoo boy, are you ever right!  When I reviewed my message (after it had been
sent out) I noticed the misspelling.  Just desserts, I guess.

On the other hand, I propose that there's a difference between a
quick slip of the finger in a netnews article due to haste and a LONG,
thoughtful review just rife with misspellings.  Remember, his letter
was going to muckymucks at GM who, we should assume, can spell.

Even as I admit my own slip, I really feel that there's little excuse
to subject the public to misspelled words.  It's the lexicographic
equivalent of having your fly open in public.  Hell, since we all
have "spell" on-line, there's even less excuse.
