       I have thus far stayed out of this one, but I can't stand it anymore.  
       I don't thin the Grammar Diva much cares whether you spell her name 
       "Grammar" or "Grammer."  That would be the Orthography Diva.  Spelling 
       is different from grammar.  That is all.

Zowie!  Score one for William Safire's Orthographic Irregulars!  (But note that
they too frequently correspond upon grammar errors and malapropisms.)
