Wow, I didn't even consider the political correctness angle when posting
my objection. :-) On a more serious note, the misspellings are not
only unprofessional, but may confuse those among us for whom English is
not a native language.
I'm a bit surprised that someone who on other days insists that all full
stops be followed by two spaces would intentionally mangle words in this
fashion.
