I'm with Marius on this one. I think the important thing here is to get us in the dictionary with the spelling we use.
To me, the spelling issue has always been indicative of a bigger thing, which is official recognition as part of the English language. After 10 years, I think the movement has earned it. William, how would you feel if everyone started calling you Bill or Will-iam? What if the difference between Will-iam and William was just in written language and not in speech? You even stated that the reason you spell it coworking is out of respect for the rest of us that have all settled on coworking (you even prefer co-working!). That's all we're asking of journalists in this case. And if they're denying our requests on the basis of being or not being in the dictionary, then let's get in the dictionary. Also Derek, the cowering autocorrect annoys me too! It never learns!
