   Here's my 2 cents.  Correct spelling is crucial in programs.
But I don't care how you spell "Kernel" in a mail message.  And I
hope you don't care how I spell it.  I know that I have confused
our 8-bit "Kernal" with our Amiga "Kernel" on occasion.  I worked
with the "Kernal" for so many years that "Kernel" just doesn't
look right.

   In fact, both spellings are starting to look strange.  I guess I've
been looking at them too long.  I'll start looking at some other
word --- like BltMaskBitMapRastPort.
