Though I am some kind of a grammar minister at one forum at home, I don't object too much to even obvious misspellings - it's enough that we have to spell things like ThisForm.pgfFrame1.pgPage1.grdGrid1.AfterRowColChange perfectly, otherwise it won't work. Though, it's somewhat confusing for the people who start with average or moderately bad English (I mean the people who are not using English as their first language), and try to learn more here. Things like sepErate, definAte etc have become quite common, and nobody really objects - neither do I - but I guess some of those who are trying to learn English better than they already know it, will have to learn some things twice.
