Not too sensitive to non-native speakers, are they? Talk about
arrogance!
What is this thing about non-native speakers all the time? Native
speakers misspell their words thousands of times more often than
learners, *especially* in English; and a misspelling like "vanderlism"
is thousands of times more likely to come from a native speaker than a
learner.
There are some interesting Dutch possibilities for this misspelling:
"vanderlijm" or "vanderlist" :-)
