Is it unfair to be suspicious if he can't spell his own title?

Yes it is unfair.  Quit sneering.  It is a violation of rule #2.  One of
the debunkers was recently removed due to sneering.

On the contrary, this adds versimillitude to his posting. Based on my 
experience editing papers, I conclude that many American chemistry 
professors cannot spell. Neither can I, but I use voice input so I can 
easily spell words such as versimillitude. Or orthogonal. How do you 
like them apples?


Stan Pons and Melvin Miles are very good at spelling. Dennis Cravens and 
the late Julian Schwinger . . . not so much.

No need to respond to that one.  I was too eager to reply with a retort.
 It seems I lost my footing there. ;)

Here is a comment at Forbes from someone who sounds like he should be
working on cold fusion with the rest of the superannuated geezers. Let's
see if we can find him.

I’m a Professor Ameritus in Electrical Engineering, Ph.D. was in developing
long-lived vacuum tubes with nickel fired in hydrogen and vacuum, at
temperatures around 1000C. Since have been heavily involved in alternative
energy (solar thermal and wind. Everything I read in the 29 page report,
and following challenges as answered by the authors, seems extremely

By Tomorrow one presumes he means tomorrow in the literary sense.

(Facetiousness warning.)

It would seem he must not have been a very good professor, then, given that
he has passed a positive judgment on a manifestly sloppy paper.  He should
speed himself to the nearest physicist and receive guidance.
