As evidenced below, there seems to be a disconnect with Bama beat writers and spelling.

TUSCALOOSA - Alabama football coach Nick Saban called it judgement day.
The Crimson Tide concluded training camp in his mind Thursday and the team will being preparing for Virginia Tech in the opener.
Judgement day comes for the last 40 players on the roster who make up the scout team. Young players hope to avoid the scout team, but it's an important role.
"You have to have the most respect for those guys because they come out and practice as hard as us," cornerback Deion Belue said.
"We rely on them to give us the best look possible. I respect them. I know it's tough for them."
The coaches will make the final decision on the scout team before today's practice. Their development comes with the team drills and running opponent plays for the Crimson Tide to compete against.
"Now they have to help us prepare for every game we play," Saban said. "The good job they do that goes unnoticed and nobody gets any credit for, and nobody talks about, and sometimes they don't get to dress for games. Those guys are the most important guys on the team. They prepare the team so they get the right look so they can be prepared to react quickly and be prepared for the game".
Center Ryan Kelly remembers his time on the scout team his first season and how it helped him develop. He also remembers receiving a concussion from a blow by a veteran.
"If you look back at the defense I think that made me pretty open for what college football is about, what I was in store for," Kelly said. "It gave me a good feel for the speed and tempo of what college football would be like."
