Sotos,
Please, please, contain your misplaced glee. The website Get Real used was indeed Oxford University Press. They are the publishers of the OED, but they are not the OED itself. The OED, for which I have an online subscription, has (i) pejorative and (ii) perjorative.
You guys make me laugh : there's no wonder the Cyprus problem has not been settled if you spend so much time in such brief empty victories. Case closed ?
Don't worry, Baghdatis is "Just saying what the UN say&

If it was me I would just say OK I made a spelling mistake, so what? But you ... you never make mistakes Mr. KnowItAll do you? Even when others prove you wrong you have to keep insisting that you are right!! 
Thats why the Cyprus problem has not been settled. Because you are clearly wrong and you want to stay wrong. You don't like admitting your wrongs and correcting them!-

Sotos,

And, it was not me who raised this trivial issue but Get Real, I just gave him a straightforward reply.
