Here's a rule you might try: check your facts and spellings before you blurt.

As it happens, I have a life...and don't care that much about spelling errors (I guess you didn't bother to google; you would have discovered that "Adolph" is a commonly occuring, alternate spelling - seemingly quite acceptable). I do my best but it's the substance which matters to me and I have only a limited time to pursue even that.

"Blurt" is a highly disrespectful way to characterize my posts...and demeans only you. After all, why would you be so careless of your time as to waste it on someone who "blurts"?...I notice your last post contains no substance whatever - only pedantry.

Bad guess. Before writing you I did Google it, to see what would happen. It gave one the correct spelling at once.

Editors make mistakes, too, y'know, no matter how confident we are in our mental equipment. That's why it's a good policy to check first if one has the slightest doubt. I am a very good speller but I use a dictionary (or Google or other reference) all the time.

>> I do my best

Good for you. Nobody can ask more of you than that.
