Can we let the spelling discussion die now?  (Or at the very least, edit
the Newgroups line to leave out comp.cog-eng)

Let's just settle on spelling  errors being due to a lack of  attention,
resulting in combinations of capture, and data description errors.  (And
for  connectionists,  lack of  inhibitory  signals, e.g.  teh instead of
the).  Clearly, spelling ability has little to do with intelligience.
