    Hm. Sounds a little like saying that if ginger kids dyed their hair brown, nobody would take the piss out of them.

      LOL!!! Just saying that we can appear elitist and aloof up front by pointing it out or we can appear elitist and aloof and maybe cliquish later on by not pointing it out right away. And since people that get kicks out of ridiculing others will do so no matter, we might as well point out the correct spelling/case earlier rather than later.
