... and when *you* get to decide who is to be "a consensus of
incompetent individuals" is the point where we part ways.

Sorry, I'm a command line junkie myself, and I try to seduce
people to try that anytime I get a chance, but your stance above
can only be characterised as arrogant.

C'mon. This is a mailing list in English, but its basis is very
international. You get to enjoy the fact that other people try
to adapt to your language as well as they can.

In this context, Postel's law [1] should apply (not only in
language things, mind you).

Go fix your error correction algorithm. A new prefix mapping (e.g.
i -> dis, with the usual phonetic embellishments) might go a long
way.
