There are many, many times I want to correct people's spelling both 
here and at the main list.  As a teacher, it is hard to control 
myself.  The mistake that makes me want to tear my hair out is when 
people write 'Dursley's' when talking about all three of them.  
Misspelling Gryffindor is another big one - how the hell can you 
misspell something you've read a dozen times?  There are other 
mistakes that drive me nuts, but I feel so much better that I got this 
off my chest, I don't need to list the others (like 'definately').  

Sorry - I couldn't resist.
