The problem with being dyslexic and arrogant both at once is that when such people run the spell-checker, and it notifies them of errors, they think "What's wrong with that? It looks fine to me.

That's why LKH keeps messing up words like ardeur: instead of trusting authority, she put misspellings into the machine, and undercut her own safeguards.
