A Gnome Explains

It's a silly WikiGnome story:-
I found that I had misspelt retrieved, as retreived (ei), three times in one article (one mistake, copied & pasted).
I set myself a "penance" (nothing like a bit of masochism) of correcting the "ei" versions in Wikipedia articles.
I only intended to do the 100 or so misspellings there were at the time, but I then adopted "retrieved" (retreived, retrived, retreved)
I then added "rhythm” (rhythem, rhythim, rhythym, rhytm, rythem, rythim, rythm & rythym)

I have since got carried away, and adopted the Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/R - all of it.
Don’t do it, it's bad for your health

Thanks

No problem - as you say it was "a long and active article", which made following the changes rather difficult; especially when, halfway through re-reading it, it was changed again - but as the changes were heading in the right direction, I was happy to let them run their course. As stated on the talk page, I was impressed by you and your fellow editors' ability to view the article from a NPoV.
