Fellow members of the United Nations,
It pains us in The Community of Gurthark to be the bearers of pedantry, however, we humbly request that fellow members of the United Nations note the fact that "amend" has only one "m", and "amendment" has only two.
Typos are completely understandable (we make many ourselves), and of course, not all users of NationStates are native speakers of English. However, after reading the faux words "ammend" and "ammendment" a good dozen times in a row, by a wide variety of authors, our ears feel grated upon, we think justifiably.
Please take this into consideration when writing posts and proposals in the future.
Thank you,
Miranda Googleplex
