Hm, seems as if I've made several spelling errors. It's a good thing
that I have my Unofficial Spelling Snob handbook with me so I know
what's the policy on this. <flips open book to part dealing with
spelling errors committed by members>

"If a member or aspiring member of the Spelling Snob Society commits a
spelling error(s), well, that's quite all right. After all, members are
not expected to be perfect and mistakes do happen."

Whew! <wipes forehead>

"However, a member committing a spelling error(s) while chastising
*others* about bad spelling is completely and utterly unforgivable. You
must be subjected to punishment at once. Obtain a blindfold and find
the nearest Whomping Willow tree. Put on the blindfold and walk towards
the tree. Hopefully this will correct any temporary stupidity that has
seeped into your head. If not, please discontinue membership to the
Society."

Oh. Well. I'd better find a blindfold then, right after I check the
spelling of this post.

(Who is *incredibly* embarrassed. And sorry. And hoping that the
sniggering won't last too long, although she deserves it...)
