"spelling phonetically"

And I was not poking fun at spelling. Everyone who knows me knows that the spell-checker is the number-one life-saver 
on my systems. I write way too fast to go back and spell-check by eye (even though I do know how to spell, I am a 
crappy touch-typest.. Mavis Beacon, you suck!)

My point was cultural... and I agree, it's all about selling something. In this case, I honour (yes, I spell it that 
way and have for 40+ years) Cy Young and Alan Shepard more than anythign (I almsot always make the "gn" typo) else.

Again, no offense intended...

"Those damn Dutch!"

Happy Birthday Chuck Heston!

I don't think its a god-given-right to spell things incorrectly for
any reason - but I was poking fun at the "holiday". Its a bullshit one
that only appears to serve certain Mexican beer companies (I only like
the German-Mexican beers) and "Mexican-Americans" who feel
disenfranchised by their lack of military victories celebrated like we
American's celebrate those of our Union (as in the 4th of July).
Whaaaa...boohoo....

Now lets look at your own spelling issues and move on:

Are you poking fun at them too?
