Oh, come on, he was taking the... um, Michael, surely? Multiple and obvious spelling mistakes in a reply to pedantic spelling corrections? I automatically assumed he was angling for a "+5 Funny" there. Whether or not he is actually dyslexic matters not one whit to me. In the same way I wouldn't make fun of someone with bipolar disorder (for example) I'd consider it extremely bad form to make fun of any kind of disability. I'll happily make fun of people for being stupid but targeting genuine disabilities is just not cricket. My best friend is hopelessly dyslexic so it's not like I'm not used to it. But yes, being swearer in chief on this list I couldn't resist quoting a bad word, especially my favourite one :] Apologies for being mischievous I guess. Still not sure why we're not grown up enough to worry about it in the first place. Have you ever grepped the kernel source for naughty words before? There are quite a few in there...
