I like the idea of a dictionary, but would prefer to see it used for nontrivial shortcuts and synonyms. In my opinion, simple and hard-to-misunderstand typos like AGAINT instead of AGAINST should be regulated by the general rules on how we deal with unclear communication and formal details. If we start listing acceptable typos, does that mean that other harmless typos sudenly make communication fail (e.g. AGAINT would be a valid vote and AGAINS would not be?). I think there's a difference between a dictionary and an autocorrect - list of the type some spellcheckers have. I would support the former, but not the latter. Kolja
