Re: Spelling Error Fequency

Don't be too concerned about it, Greg. Bubble sort is the worst of methods
in that it uses the highest number of processing steps for the number of
elements to be sorted; on the other hand it is simple and doesn't require a
lot of code. For relatively small lists (such as, one hopes, your list of
spelling errors) it is not as unreasonable a choice as Howard suggests.
