Beanz meanz poor spelling

More bad spelling: Sandra Maxwell at Cincom worked at Heinz as a contractor many years ago.
‘One contractor spelled “method” as “methord” throughout his code,’ she says. It’s not as if the word would ever come up in a programming course.
Our worst spelling this week is from Mike Ralphson, who doesn’t want us to publicise where he works because they have inherited an ERP system with a flag named ‘setDisbaleNaviagtionSlectionChange()’.
‘We can’t correct it,’ he says, ‘because it would cause incompatibilities between different branches.’ Or is that ‘imcontapilibitise’?
