spelling flame n. //   [Usenet] A posting ostentatiously    correcting a previous article's spelling as a way of casting scorn    on the point the article was trying to make, instead of actually    responding to that point (compare {dictionary flame}).   Of course,    people who are more than usually slovenly spellers are prone to    think _any_ correction is a spelling flame.   It's an amusing comment    on human nature that spelling flames themselves often contain    spelling errors.

Supplementary Ideographic Plane          (SIP) The third plane (plane 2) defined in       {Unicode}/{ISO 10646}, designed to hold all the {ideographs}       descended from Chinese writing (mainly found in Vietnamese,       Korean, Japanese and Chinese) that aren't found in the {Basic       Multilingual Plane}.   The BMP was supposed to hold all       ideographs in modern use; unfortunately, many Chinese dialects       (like Cantonese and Hong Kong Chinese) were overlooked; to       write these, characters from the SIP are necessary.   This is       one reason even non-academic software must support characters       outside the BMP.          {Unicode home (http://www.unicode.org)}.          (2002-06-19)
