| You might as well get used to it.  In the 8-bit Commodore world, local usage
| has always had it spelled kernal.  Given that a reasonable number of Amiga

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Hey, I could get tired of that
misspelling REAL fast.  The form "colloquialism" is not an accepted
alternate spelling of "error".

It's bad enough to have spelling flames kicking around without having
someone DEFEND the fact that people don't know how to spell and refuse to
learn even the words that are basic to their work.
