I can't believe I'm continuing on this trivial point, but here goes:

The correct spelling is: Philippines.
You misspelled it as both "Phillipines" and "Phillippines".

Clodfobble pointed that out. Somehow you thought she was saying that you also misspelled "Filipino." Ibram also picked up on "Filipino." Nobody ever said that "Filipino" is wrong.

I don't care much about spelling. I don't make much of an effort to police my own. The only reason I even pointed it out is because you said you spent a while trying to figure out what Clodfobble was talking about, but you still got it wrong, and then turned around and tried to tell Clodfobble that she was wrong.
