" Well, with the dyslexia, a touch of ADD and reading all those essays where the "authors" can't tell the difference between "their" and "there", I'm surprised I can spell words correctly at all!  (Imagine what my programs do...)

this may be uf, but i heard of a guy at dec years ago that made
aliases for all the command words he misspelled.

made debugging his code ummm challenging...

it isn't the author's fault; the publisher is supposed to catch that
crap.  that's what his editors and/or proofreaders are for.  but i
read a book recently that looked like it had been proofread by ms
spellcheck, and it was hell.
