If you're not careful it's easy to come across as mocking or derisive. When someone is trying to contribute to the discussion, and the reply they get is nothing but a correction of their spelling, that's got to be unpleasant.

What really matters is communication, and anything roughly of the form mec(h?)(a?)num is easily recognizable. The spelling is bizarre anyways. If it's important to you to get people to spell it correctly, my recommendation would be to write helpful or interesting responses to other posts, and add "FYI: 'mecanum' is the correct spelling" at the end.
I understand what you're saying. Thank you for the suggestions.
