Most people don't know minuscule is spelt minuscule and not miniscule. It's hardly important, I know Arizona is a good spelling pedant, frankly I don't care any more. I simply don't care about spelling stuff - my wife spells stationary for stationery, I can't be arsed to get into a row about that. Confectionery/Confectionary, whatever. The apostrophe in "it's" is only ever used when indicating a contraction of "it is" - who gives a 5hit? Use "Accept" instead of "Except" - why bother learning all this crap? Is it really important? Answer? - No.
