You have dedicated an entire topic to this. If you find someone has mispelled a word then just remember the guidlines that someone, maybe even you, wrote. Iron Fist said "Paaren, not Pareen or Parren". If you see somone say "Pareen" you still know that they are talking about Paaren. Grit your teeth and mentally transpose it. Writing is about communication. The spellings that we use today are only to communicate. As long as you get your message across you are doing just that.

That's all well and good, but you're taking what you're reading out of context. That generally means not to simply reply to a person to point out their spelling errors. This post is not doing that, rather stating that there HAVE been mispellings, this is what he's seen so far, and if anyone else has anything to contribute to do so. Perhaps he had an idea in mind to make a simple document for newbies to read in case they're confused.
This is not a post in anger or jest or anything else, just simple information and (gasp, dare I say) communication, and it's perfectly fine the way it is. As far as simply ignoring the way people spell, as of now, most people do so, but it is still annoying to find words horribly mangled by people, and this is one of the best posts I've seen that could help change that, without much patronizing (there is some by a few blockheads in here, but go figure 
)
So thats that, if you care to argue the point more, email me.
