I can't believe I let that up with those spelling errors. Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed and will go out with our next push. I really am better at training than I am at spelling :) For the longest time, I had been spelling 'carat' as 'carrot' (referring to the '^' character).

You mean car-e-t ;)

(carat is a measure of gold purity)

That could also be karat, and it's for all gems AKAIK, not just gold.

(Talk about picking the worst example ever!) :-)

Welcome to the club. I released a program back in the 80s called "calender"... at 1.2 I changed it from a pair of smooth rollers used to press paper and cloth to create a shiny surface in to "calendar" which described its function much better.

English is a silly language.

Am I missing something? What's misspelled?

True, but "compay" doesn't. :-)
