Ah, a classic conundrum. Is it better to use the correct word but spell it incorrectly or is it better to use the incorrect word but spell it correctly? Thriftiness and cheapness are common terms so the conundrum is not caused by an enigma but rather the result of having nothing but bad choices for an answer to the question as stated. I do think the value of my original euphemism has intrinsic value that transcends either choice of answers to the conundrum , both of which are simply conjecture.
