Fight back!

When writing articles, use \e olde spelling.  Use thy quill pen
and phial of ink for \e rough draught, that thou mayest choose each
woorde with care.

An I have writ poorely, I beg mercy: I have few clews as to \e
originall spellings.

(Apologies for the lack of an edh.  `\' is a poor substitute.  The
point, however, is that spelling is largely a matter of agreement.)
