Careless or, specifically, worthy of rebuke.
As the dictionary version and my version mean the same thing, methinks your "worthy of rebuke" is unneccessary ("careless" is, of course, accurate and indeed, but). Ain't the addition of an "s" in pronunciation (and parbably spelling <wink>) as I *do is an excellent example of just one of the ways languages breathe?
Live and let live!?
I'm not saying the exception proves a new rule, I'm sayin' if it is understood as it was intended the rebuke of spelling is quite *pointless in a word used so infrequently as well as not similar enough to another word as to create confusion through spelling or enunciation.
