At least we can spell it. And the 'correction' was strictly regarding the tradtional philosophical use of the word, not current usage, which is what people actually use in conversation. Anthony Flew's 'introduction' of the more inclusive meaning to philosophy was merely pointing out to 'philosophy' how atheists started using the word almost two centuries prior to Flew's manuscript. Holbach's remark is from Good Sense, written in the late 1700s.
