I rag John Larkin for regularly and consistently misspelling semester as
semister. Everybody makes typographic errors, but he makes that mistake
reliably. I really do known the difference between its (possessive) and
it's (a contraction of "it is") but both words cone up often enough to
be subject to the occassional typo.

Being civil to John Larkin is waste of time, he's much too
over-confident to notice diplomatic correction.
Flame wars can be fun.
