Hmmm. Thread wander alert! I don't think I correct non-American spellings of English. Or I try not to, because those spellings are valid I think. Do you guys when you beta?

What irks me are careless mistakes in formal stuff. For example stuff like "thier" should not be in something submitted for a grade. Seriously, if your term paper has those red squiggly lines and it's not a specialized term, etc, you really should have taken the two seconds it takes to spellcheck.
