Default Words.
Yes Frank, I have seen that before. And my brain was able to decipher your jumbled up spelling. But misspelled words still irk the heck out of me. Always have.

The only little known thing I can add is from the local newspaper:
Useless Fact o' the Day
A wedgie in which the victim's underwear is pulled up from the front is called a "Melvin."
