I don't see how you see the term 3rd worlder's as derogatory...it is a description of portions of the planet where living standards are not where they should be...has nothing to do with the people who live there. How you made that apparent leap is pretty stunning, unless you were looking for a reason to react as you apparently did, to the point of having to edit your comment...who knows what it originally contained.
I just added the relevant input to the original topic of the thread ( I wanted a smaller font size also implemented )- duly noted in the "reason for edit". It contained just the first line initially. So who is making a leap from just an edit.

You want all the benefits of Free trade and a free market (first world is benefiting immensely from the growing markets in the "third" world!!) without the downside of pure simple "supply and demand".

what does a post about typographical errors have anything to do with "portions of the planet where living standards are not where they should be"??

Typos are typos. Hints and assumptions that the typos are due to people from "third" world is completely unwarranted.

Anyways, because I was not looking for a reason to react and knowing that this kind of exchange can not end well - so I am off topic from now.
