Spell-3D?

Someone recently suggested that maybe BobH wasn't an expert, since he
misspelled fluorescent.  (The poster likened it to fingernails on his
chalkboard, I think)

I used to think that since I can spell better than almost everyone else, I
must therefore be more intelligent and wise than almost everyone else.  Ha!

Having benefitted from Bob Howard's wisdom on P-3D for the last three years
or so and even before that on the Prodigy photo BB, I have no question
about his expertise in many things photographic.  The spelling I can
correct, but I certainly cannot generate the quality of information that
Bob and many of the other misspellers on this list provide.  

Besides, lots of people misspell fluorescent.  It's a tough one (for
others).  You might as well expect everyone to start using "it's" and "its"
correctly.  ("it's" means "it is" or "it has",  "its" means "belonging to
it" or "more than one it")  That error is _far_ more common on this list.

So keep spelling things whatever way you think is right, BobH.  I can
translate it, just can't generate it.
