   My posting on the spelling of "Sandinista" was, rather obviously, not a
spelling flame but an IGNORANCE flame.  If I were to write an article about
the "Marksist-Lennonists" in Central America, my spelling error would show
something more than mere carelessness.  A person who is capable of writing
"Sandanistas" has apparently never heard of Augusto Cesar Sandino, and shows
about the same level of understanding of Nicaragua as the writer on
Marksism-Lennonism would show of leftist revolutionary movements.  The
difference between the contras and the Contadora nations is also not a
trivial one.  I am NOT complaining about the rampant spelling errors on the
net.  I find them useful:  they help me sort out the true idiots from the
merely incompetent.

Oh, so I guess those who mispronounce "nuclear" as "new-culer" (with a long
u) just don't know what the hell they're talking about.  I don't buy your
argument one bit.

I guess Ph.D. receipients never misspell intraoffice memos dealing with
technical matters?  And I guess you can sit on your pious seat and dictate
who is and who isn't an idiot.

Go take a Greyhound.
