Can we all stop bickering about spelling? Bob Mutel made a reasonable
point about some words that were chronically misspelled(not just in U. S.
dictionaries, but in all), and people continue to take offense. Everyone,
including Bob, recognizes the value of INFO-VAX. Discussion like this adds
nothing to that value, and I really don't feel like plowing through the
superfluous material.

Sorry Pete but I just had to add my two cents worth.
For those who wish to use a spelling checker I wish to provide the following
article which was included in the Denison University Spelling Checker
Documentation.
USER BEE WEAR !!!
A soft wear package witch checks spelling is no mower than a weigh to
verify. That the weird, as it appears inn the taxed is also in the
stored file. It can knot correct arrows in punctuation ore usage:
and it will not fined words witch are mis-used butt spelled rite.
four example, this paragraph wood bee past by most such programs,
even though is has mini flaws. Their fore, the massage is that proof-reading
is knot eliminated by using such a package, and is still berry much
reek wired.

The only spelling that I hope is correct is the name of the VMS SYMBOL/ENTRY
that is being discussed.
