You have to first know you misspelled it to correct it. Spelling and grammar are a form of manners, according to one of my favorite English professors. When we manage to get the meaning across the basic work of language has been accomplished. In most instances I try to use the correct spelling, but some words and names are so commonplace in one particular form that the common form is what is written, regardless of some idiosyncrasy of the actual spelling. You will recall your umbrage over Moseley/Mosely. Big deal (not), you knew who I was talking about.

Going through therapy for dealing with dyslexia as a kid meant having spelling rules hammered into my head. The rules don't dictate how to spell the anomalous names. Let's move on.
