Yes, you are correct about spelling. I see now, I've copied with an "e". But was it the spelling or it was just a rude quotation, I wonder.

The quotation alone would probably have gotten downvoted, but I expect that the spelling may have exacerbated it.

An exact copy from here:

Who am I to change it in any way?

Yahoo Answers is not a sacred text, nor is it the first appearance of that quote. You can and should spell correctly in your posts. Not that it matters much this time; I would have downvoted it anyway.

That's not the quote in the parent comment. That one was upvoted.

It's farther down on the linked page.

It's the fifth one down the list.
