The World Mourns Legendary Spelling Errors

I am definitely not one to poke fun at someone while they're grieving and heavens knows I've put some bad writing out there in the world, but this is something I just can't quite understand.

Lohan's condolences to Altmans

Specifically the "BE ADEQUITE" part of that something. Be adequite? I haven't a notion what that means and this isn't written in a malicious way. I do have a strange predilection toward Miss Lohan (in that I want to pull her aside and be her mother or at least her big sister) and just hope this is some spelling mistake propagated by her lack of formal education. But then if she meant "be adequate", what does that mean? I know her singing is mediocre and her acting is just sub-par, but is she essentially striving for adequacy? Is this her life's goal? Seems so if I am to believe this purportedly heartfelt letter.

Lindsay, I reiterate my former plea. Move into my house. We'll make cocoa. We'll read books. We'll watch "CSI: Miami". We'll meet guys your age who aren't interested in getting on the covers of tabloids. It'll be normal...no...it'll be adequate. Trust me. Beyond everything else, that's clearly what you need.

Morning Briefing:
More Lindsay mail: In an effort to polish her increasingly tarnished media image, Lindsay Lohan sent out an e-mail to friends (and her lawyers) outlining a multitiered plan to retaliate against the recent tabloid stories about her. Step 1: Al Gore. "Al Gore will help me," she writes. "He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me. If he is willing to help me, let's find out." Step 2: The Clintons. "Hilary [sic] Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Evan Metroplis [sic], and John Daur who works with them would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK." Step 3: Be adequite. She wants to "release a politically/morally correct, fully adequite [sic] letter to the press." (Page Six)
