Net... Neuteality?
I could be wrong but I don't think that's how it's spelled either.
Just sayin... getting on someone about their spelling on an internet message board message that was typed up in a few seconds and then following that up by spelling the exact same word wrong.... and calling that person a "total fucking idiot" (good luck with the mods on that one if they stumble by this.)
I mean, that's just a trainwreck.
Anyway... like I said, i'm for laws for it. However I could see how people would think that consumer demand for that not to happen could be enough to prevent it from happening.
Though I think the one flaw in that currently is that we let phone and internet companies own cable and basically set up pocket monopolies that are only competing against inferior wireless plans.

Typing fast on a dusty keyboard. (I personally give a mulligan to neighboring letters)
I stand by the total fucking idiot statement because anybody who supports industry self-regulation is one.

You give mulligans for mistakes you make. Bet that works out well.
Personally I tend to ignore spelling... most of all on an internet forum... since it's an internet forum.
Afterall, plenty of outright geniuses actually have sucked at spelling and grammar.
See Albert Einstein.
Also, i find it kinda stupid. There, Their and They're due to the auditory first nature of spelling it's very likely you'll interchange those... and also completely pointless, since it's obvious to the reader what you meant to write.
Personally though I often both when writing and typing do switch letters around.
Ususally because i'm about 3 sentences ahead in my head vs what i'm typing. Heck sometimes I have out and out word replacement of somewhat like sounding words with COMPLETELY different meanings. Generally the first part of the word sounds exactly the same, but the second part is different.
I'd say I was probably suffering from dyslexia if it wasn't for the fact that I can read ridiculously fast and pick up and apply new words into my lexicon rather eaisly.
It's a shame that Roosevelt was never able to pass his phonetic spelling bill.
Also that we still don't use the metric system. I mean... what's up with that? It's so much easier.
