This is not just a matter of orthography but of how one forms the
participle of "klejot." No matter how he twists and turns (even if he
is thinking of another word, like "klīstošie" or even
"klaigājošie"), his word is an obvious malformation -- a bloody
abortion. This is not an issue of substituting "sh" for "š," which is
an acceptable convention when diacritics are difficult to convey
(though one wonders why our little superletiņš apparently feels no
need to acquire proper Baltic fonts). Curiously, he claims that his
"native" (Indiana) Latvian is superior to that of people who do dubious
things like read literature (note the constant disdain for "literati")
or use dictionaries -- this is an error few children could make, but
quite typical for him. Perhaps he'll claim it's his patois again? Nu,
neies krastā...

Visu labu,
