Is there a patron saint for computers/internet?
@Brian:
Apparently the patron saint of the Internet and/or computers is St Isidore of Seville. However this isn’t quite official. There was some talk back in 2003–Wikipedia has more about it.
One would think a snob who has so much to say about other people’s language skills would know the difference between “principle” and “principal.”
Father, please feel free to contact me in the future if you have computer problems again, I’d be delighted to help. I’ve a lengthy background in the computer realm, and most work can be done remotely.
Weldkemp: Your comment has more to do with who you are inside than my typos.
Ah, I’m sorry Father — I hope you had a nice gin-and-tonic or whatever was most soothing!
Weldkamp:
Judging by Father Z’s usage in his post, he does know the difference between “principle” (only used as a noun) and “principal” (used as both noun and adjective), and he used the term correctly.
Weldkamp:
“Principal” – primary, chief, most important: therefore “principal desktop replacement” is correct. If you’re going to offend someone at least find an error: don’t just pretend that you found one.
I just tried out the Z-cam, and noticed the note re: Rome firewall. I’m a network security engineer, and if you would like help getting through your firewall to get the Rome Z-cam working, again, I’d be glad to help. Again, please feel free to contact me if you’d like.
Weldkamp seems to have personified “Skitt’s Law” which states,
“Spelling or grammar flames always contain spelling or grammar errors.”

Father,
Look at it this way, it could be worse. When I need help, they make me call some guy in Bangalore!
All: To be fair I must say that I corrected my typo to “principal” after the nasty comment. It might have been intended only to hurt me in some way, but he was right. I had written “principle”.

Comment by Weldkamp
The error was pointed out to Fr Z, and he quickly corrected it. On the other hand, the English “translation” of the Novus Ordo has seeped pus for more than 30 years.
Father,
…but he was right. I had written “principle .
There are ways to correct people’s grammar without being a boor. Had Weldkamp been raised a gentleman, he might have indirectly pointed out your error by copying your post with his correction inserted in lieu of the incorrect word (very subtle); or, he could have copied the “offending” text verbatum, with the editorial use of a bracked sic (more noticeable, but with an “educated” air).
Additionally, he could have attempted a humorous correction, e.g., “your principal use of principle is principally unprincipled”. (Well, at least that’s my idea of “humorous correction.)
Unfortunately, Weldkamp’s prime choice of correction was the least desirable method of all: boorish.
