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. kurt
