So, you post a reply to some thread, and misspell some crap

So you edit your post, and a window appears so you can explain why you are editing your post.

Ok, you bite. So you enter the explanation; typographical error...

And I make a worse typo on the explanation.

Now what?!!!!

We would all have disappeared long ago if it weren't for Dr. Who.

It's a mixed blessing; how else can I correctly spell árbol, ungüento, and rôle?

The fact that we no longer have spell-check is a deliberate plot by Skinner and the intelectual elite
English majors to round us all up and send us to the FEMA spelling detention centers where we will be indoctronated in the "Speke Engish" tactics of the librul grammer Stasi.

Now if I could just find a course in South American Spanish... Or prehaps the original language of Jesus which, according to my Bibvlr thumping aquantinces was Amariacan.
