Bad spelling is funny.  

Have any of you checked out Nancy Stouffer's list of "INFRINGEMENT 
EXAMPLES?"  You know, where she gives examples of things JKR stole 
from her muggle books?  I was just looking at those after reading a 
couple of these spelling posts, and this one stuck out at 
me: "NEVILLE LOOSES THINGS CRIES AND WHINES"

No, see, I think professional author Stouffer made a mistake here.  
I've read those books a good four plus times, and I can't think of a 
single example of Neville loose-ing anything.
