Please look up the definition of what arguing in bad faith is about.

Lawyers will argue this shit for days, please don't start fights for no reason.

I have to spell my street name 50% of the time, and it's a perfectly normal English word. The last place I lived had a slightly unusual English word name, and I had to spell it 90% of the time.
