Many reasons are responsible for misspelled words. Those unfamiliar with english, especially those living in Europe may misspell words. Typing errors or even thinking phonetically while typing, can do this. It is a fact that most misspelled words are those of proper names. Some names are fancified such as Alyce instead of Alice; or Quayle instead of Quail. Mistakes are common and, unless the purpose for the correction is instructive, the error should be ignored. The message being conveyed is all important. Allan
