If it can be misspelled, then it will be misspelled.
Big words coming from someone named "metadoktor".

    you probably meant:
    "If it can be mispelled, then it will be misspelled."
    Corollary: misspelings are not consistant.

    Calm down boo_radley. It was not meant as a flame. It's just a fact of life that words will get misspelled.

    metadoktor

    "The doktor is in."

      I think he meant it humourously! He was calling his own post a gratuitous flame, interestingly enough from a linguistic point of view, precisely so as to tell us that it was *not* a flame.

    Metadoktor is a perfectly well spelled word in almost
    every language except English. What is it with English
    and this completely superfluous C?
