My typos and misspellings are part of my "digital signature" :). If you see a sizable post claiming to originate from my keyboard that doesn't have at least one, please report the imposter to the authorities. So you know, urban dictionary (a most appropriate source for terms like this) recognizes my spelling as correct. So you're wrong there. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pollock Polack/Pollock/Polok etc can all be used interchangeably at the whim of the wielder. But, you should know it's not really an "ethnic slander". At least here in the US it is somewhat of a dated slang word (which in itself makes it funny) to refer to a general git/dolt whatever that is independent of their nationality, and that is the context with which I was using it. It's kind of serendipitous fun (and pun) that the devs are Polish, but that's their fault and not mine. lol
