	Criticizing someone's misspelled words is a puerile attempt at massaging
one's ego.  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.
