Haha must be. Even the viagra people are getting a bit better. I actually saw the entire word viagra spelled correctly in a couple emails. I was like, WOW. Problem with this bad spelling, it buts such a load on my server since I have a bunch of sophisticated regex rules to try and match every possibility.
