Actually, the way this year's awards work, there should be little
trouble with misspellings and such.

Unlike in other years, the "choices" are actually generated by
readers.  This has the considerable merit that choices aren't
restricted to what someone at Linux Journal imagined were the options.

For instance, there are quite a lot of us still using MH to manage our
mail; since it's not a sexy GUI client like Evolution or KMail, it
tends to get overlooked by someone who's trying to pre-choose what's
popular.  Well, for a change, MH didn't get left out :-).
