There are a number of reasons to prefer the "sucessfully" spelling:

1. It reminds us that nothing to do with B-Greek is perfect, including our
own posts.
2. It teaches that the people who run B-Greek are fallible (fallable?
falible? rats....)
3. It teaches you to have grace for the foibles of the B-Greek staff.
4. This is the spelling that the Lyris software uses, and since I didn't
write it, I don't think I can change it.

For all of these reasons, I think that I will leave it as is.
