re: #173 reine.de.tout

NOT idiocy. Your spelling made some sense in terms of the meaning of the word. And “badinage” is not easy to pronounce, people often hear two “n” sounds when there’s only one.

It may have made sense, reine, but I pride myself on getting words right. I love the English language, its flexibility, nuance and depth, and if I don’t spell things right, I’m causing a communication glitch.
