One shouldn't have to theme Irssi to take care of typos in the first place.

*Convention over configuration* (also known as *coding by convention*) is a
software design paradigm
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_paradigm>which seeks to decrease
the number of decisions that
developers <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_developer> need to make,
gaining simplicity, but not necessarily losing flexibility.
 The phrase essentially means a developer only needs to specify
unconventional aspects of the application.


Had Irssi only been on GitHub, I'd have submitted a clean cut pull request
fixing all typos in the source, which y'all could amend with a single click.

Saying that people would prefer typos, at least I think, is ludacris.
Besides:

Boom! I just busted you fixing a typo!
