Compared to the amount of time it takes to understand the semantics of "stdout", the time required to learn the spelling of "stdout" is nothing. In a world where millions of Chinese programmers have to use keywords written in a foreign language who am I to complain? There is little reason to expect that reforming POSIX spelling is going to be any more successful than reforming English spelling.
