Anything that balances the state of the universe should be noted.

The mis-uses of 'complement' / 'compliment' and 'complementary' / 
'complimentary' are too numerous to, well, ennumerate.

But can you ever remember seeing the word spelt (alright then, 
spelled) 'complement', when it should have been 'compliment'?


A delightful 'Nigerian' spam this evening, from "Deshi Kwok, Business 
Relations Manager for Exim Bank of China",
