The fact is that I'm a (slight kind of) legasthemic on my own, and therefore I know the difference between what's laziness and a real problem of the person himself. BTW. If one is getting at the level of "RasterMan" then he should just seriously consider to use some kind of automated help/advice (ispell). That's one of the things computers are good at, at least. So, well the "insult" on my site was fully intentional.
