Orthography = spelling

And Scott the Knitter (& German scholar) wrote that.

I do remember our ancient textbooks in HS German still had the old Fraktur 
fonts. A pain to read.

Well, I didn't write that, so I have no clue. Maybe whoever actually wrote
it can step forward and clarify?

I could not have written it, because I'm not even sure what the heck
orthography is, so I would not use the word in a sentence.
