Jack, no, the wrong spelling had no such excuse, it was pure unadulterated ignorance. But, then, it "ain't" my mother tongue, so I have have a prerogative. I could have gone into additional neologenesis, claiming that pitty is just the diminutive form of pittance, of for that matter, a short version of "petty pittance", but I think that would not sell well in Peoria (G). So, mae culpae (please feel free to correct the spelling on this one as well).

In any event, do not stop pointing to me my erring ways. Thank you for catching the errors.
