 Replying to [comment:24 JDTrower]:
 > -1 to reverting.  I think most people here who are pushing to reverting
 this is forgetting one thing; WordPress is a registered trademark.  It
 happens to be registered by Automattic Inc.

 I think you're forgetting there's a WP foundation, that WP != Automattic
 (in theory anyway), and that at the end of the day it's my business if I
 want to spell it Wordpress.

 Oh, and it wastes CPU cycles, too. Recall they're drilling in the Gulf due
 to this kind of wasteful PR-related code.
