Although I'm very perfectionistic and I want to spell everything 'right', as an amateur linguist I recognize that there is no right way of spelling words. There is just institutions that put forward random rules about how someone should write the words he pronounces, and enforces this through force or prestige. So, as much as I'm annoyed by people who make lots of spelling mistakes, I guess I just have to live with it ;-)

Great post, Steem on!
