You're out of line, Shmuel. You may prefer 'dispatch' to 'despatch', but they are equally legitimate alternative spellings.
Moreover, while I should ordinarily let 'excrutiating' pass without comment, I shall not do so this time. I find no entry in the OED for it. It is an unambiguous misspelling. Moreover again , 'c' and 't'; are prpbably too far from each other on the keyboard for it to be a typo. If your Old English is up to it, see Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, ca. 1385, for the rather more elegant original of the the platitude about glass houses and stones. Moreover yet again, my substantive point remains, 'SRB' is now used in two senses that it would be useful to distinguish on the model of that between a task and a TCB.
