The smugness of the good speller

The smugness of the County Spelling Bee Champion.
Ha! The next time I get into an argument with someone who calls me a “Spelling Nazi”, I’m going to point them to this NYT article. Summary: Dumb eBay sellers list items with misspelled titles. Smart buyers find the items, buy them cheap, relist them with correct spellings, and sell for a tidy profit. I repeat, HA!
