The name is still spelled wrong. NEVER in my years as a human being in the North American English world have I heard "inexistent". It's always been "nonexistent". Please fix the spelling before release.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary: http://www.bartleby.com/61/25/I0122500.html SYLLABICATION: in·ex·is·tent PRONUNCIATION: ng-zstnt ADJECTIVE: Having no existence; nonexistent. It's uncommon, but it's not wrong. That's not an argument for or against the change, but against your claim that it is a spelling error. Juanma
