This has come up (several) times before in PMD. There have been several good solutions to the /msh & \msg problem suggested. There are however, a certain percentage of those here than consider any embarrasement or worse caused by someone mistyping in this way, thoroughly ammusing and don't want this random opportunity to make sport at someone elses expense, disabled or disable-able.

The worst part of course is that the minority for whom this source of fun, at another's expense, makes life worth living, happen to hold the reins of power. So, as with so many other suggestions that have garnered popular support from the general population, it will probably never be implemented because, as we have been reminded many times. This isn't a democracy.

It's a meritocracy, with the definition of 'merit' being soley withing the decision of those already incumbent.
