As you will see below, I think the "spelling" is a waste of CPU and
time.

You can "reasonable assume" incorrect spelling is OK if you are a total
moron.

Note: "reasonable assume" should be "reasonably assume" for the non
illiterate.

Boy! You would have to be very "spelling challenged" to come up with
that.

If your first language is not english I can understand why your grammar
and spelling are so poor. I consider myself to be poor at spelling but I
rarely make mistakes when programming, and when I do I get an error then
I can fix it. If you have a routine that tries to figure out what you
want, it may give unexpected results and you will have difficulty fixing
the problem. Write your code properly and it will be easier to fix if
there is an error.
