Question: The author of [this answer](https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/72101/why-was-the-dispatch-reliability-of-the-a320-low-during-its-first-years/72108#72108) wrote "despatch" instead of "dispatch" several times, which is (being a non-native English speaker myself) an understandable mistake. It was corrected in an edit by [ymb1](https://aviation.stackexchange.com/users/14897/ymb1).

The author then undid this correction (not by rolling back, but by editing every instance of "dispatch" back to "despatch"). I rolled this change back and left the following comment:

> 
> Please don't undo the spelling corrections. It is spelled [dispatch](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/dispatch), not despatch.
>

Unfortunately, the author repeated the previous editing back to "despatch" without replying to the comment.

**What can we do to prevent such intentional harming of answers?**

Of course I could roll back again, but this would just start an endless cycle.

Answer: 
When I made the edit I didn't realize (until *now*) that [despatch](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/despatch) is an alternative spelling.

So in this case, let it go.

In other cases, where there would be a wrong spelling, I have no idea! I couldn't find an answer on MSE.
