Fighting the hypothetical will earn the guilty party an extra 30 days.

I am only Supreme over those things about which I care, which are relatively few (and few relatives as well). You can have the rest, 'cause I don’t care. And your monkeys need a haircut.

Again, those are things about which you apparently care. you’ll have to promote yourself to SIROATTYCANO and handle miscreants in your own way.

Since you showed great wisdom in not suggesting I be punished for the error of my spell check, I will let you slide. Spell check programmers, OTOH, shall be forced back to the days of quills and parchment where they will be compelled to hand write a complete list of every similar word in the English language and their meaning. Ten thousand times.
