Like any language, context is everything; spelling is also important. I think people get in too much of a hurry at times, leaving behind a trail of incorrect homonyms, "fat-fingered" keystrokes, and sometimes sloppy thinking, apart from the challenge of expressing something in one's non-native language.
For example, I have found that "OP" can either be "original poster" or "overpowered" depending on the context. Many ship names, equipment types, and factions can be abbreviated, in a poster's haste to get their ideas down on the page. Examples: JHAD = Jem'Hadar Attack Ship; "klink" = Klingon character; etc, etc. If people really want to be understood, they would be further ahead to slow down & type correct English...;)

And not do it in any modern laptops and tablet/smartphone. My surface pro keyboard been giving me grieves.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
No reference to Fleet marks and no mention almost any of the content of the FTP seasons.
IE, under L, next to "lore" for the daily missions should be "LoR" for "Legacy of Romulus".
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!

Collect some words you don't know and write them down here. There are dozens of them and we do not know which you don't know
Ha! Didn't know that.
