Before anyone suggests a dictionary apologies for missing t .


Don't worry about it. There's very often a much higher
incidence of spelling mistakes in Thread Titles than in
post bodies, both because in some NewsReaders such as OE
the title is usually in a smaller typeface than the body
of the post making it more difficult to read in a hurry,
and because spell checkers don't usually cover thread
titles anyway. Wrongly spelled titles are one of the more
unintentionally endearing aspects of UseNet IMO and long
may they continue. At least so along as you stay clear of
capital letters, the Usenet equivalent of green ink.

In any case being overly concerned about spelling
or grammar, or pointing out individual spelling
mistakes is generally regarded as bad manners
on Usenet, so long as a post is genuine in intent,
and generally coherent. And nobody should feel inhibited
on that score. This anathema against "Spelling Flames"
dates from the days before spell checkers, when people
had better things to do, than go over their every post
with a fine tooth comb. And so it's always a valid
rejoinder, if anyone tries one on.
