(j/k) is "just kidding."  As for stupid errors, David misspelled
myriad. :)  There's a law somewhere that says every language flame
will contain a language error.  I know this wasn't a flame, but I
guess the law still applies.

Anyway, since he started it, here are the errors I noticed.  I'm sure
you don't care, of course, and many native English speakers have trouble
with the same words.  This isn't a flame, just an elucidation of what he
meant when he mentioned the other errors.  Personally, I've just gotten
used to them so I ignore them:

>the program sometimes looses focus. 

The correct word is "loses."  "looses" is a rarely-used word meaning
"sets free."

>while I didn't expect it too. 

The correct word is "to."  "too" means "also."

Not a spelling flame, but an answer:  not yet.  The superpatch has the
same problem at the moment.
