Actually, he intentionally exchanged "ia" with "ai".  If you re-read
his post you will see that he was describing a programming method by
which he finds typographical errors by intentionally using upper case
in variable names and typing them in lowercase when he uses them.  He
then expects the IDE to change his case and knows that he made a typo
if it doesn't.  

I'm not sure this is all that useful of a programming paradigm (I
wouldn't want to use ugly MixedCase just to find errors faster), but
it would not be supported by any current Python IDE I know of.
