Neandertals (often spelled "Neanderthals")

Shouldn’t that be included the first time NG misspells simplifies the spelling for who knows who? What’s wrong with maintaining the provenance of a foreign word? Where are the grammar police when they’re needed?

Next thing you know, someone will want to change the spelling of encyclopaedia.

Spelling it with the added “h” was an automatic “F” on any paper handed in to my first Anthropology Professor.
