My analysis is now complete, and I've submitted paperwork to change the spelling of the word "huge".

As well informed DUers, you are well aware of the federal guidelines which state that if over 1 million people do not spell a word correctly, you can petition the BSG (Bureau of Spelling and Grammar) to have the spelling of that word officially changed to the incorrect spelling.

I have spent the last 6 months completing a study which shows the following results: 10.6 million right-wingers consistently misspell the word "huge" as "hugh".

Since this is well over the 1 million floor defined in the federal guidelines, I have submitted paperwork to the BSG to have the spelling of "huge" officially changed to "hugh".

Last week, I received a letter of preliminary approval from the BSG. Final approval is expected by the end of September.

I just wanted to give you a heads-up on this matter.

Thank you.

While he was not physically huge - uh, hugh - he was quite a presence.
