spelling flame: n. // [Usenet] A posting ostentatiously
correcting a previous article's spelling as a way of casting scorn
on the point the article was trying to make, instead of actually
responding to that point (compare dictionary flame). Of course,
people who are more than usually slovenly spellers are prone to
think _any_ correction is a spelling flame. It's an amusing comment
on human nature that spelling flames themselves often contain
spelling errors.
