Resolution on Spell-Checking

In light of recent events, the Central Bailtemmic Republic feels that it is important for the World Forum to ensure that proposed resolutions are, at the least, free of noticeable spelling errors. Such errors harm the reputation of this forum and increase confusion in understanding the content of such proposals.
