Exactly so!

An ordinary spelling error gets promoted to a logic error that is damn
difficult to detect, let alone trace!  Before one even tries, it behooves
one to spell check his variables. An additional step that counters Python's
procedural simplicity.

"i" comes before "e" except after "c" OR whenever I make a typo!
