A little bit more Mc.

I'm not really a bad speller, I got Eisenhauer right a few times, but I am an awful typerer. And being a British person you would miss the Americanisms Like Baptista instead of Batista, which was typical at the time. Even the newspapers would spell the name wrong from time to time. Kind of a nuclear/nucular thing. I can't think of the last time I even thought of Che Guevara/Guevera let alone saw his name spelled. Which may say volumes about his impact on the history of the 20th century. I thought I did well getting Che spelled correctly, altho' I can't make that little hoobistache thing or the "e".

AS for Richelieu/Richalieu, I almost typed Charlton Heston.
