[PEN-L:11383] "Chauvanism"--"Chauvinism"

["James Michael Craven" <CRAVJM@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a side note, the term "Chauvinism" (correct spelling) comes
from Nicholas Chauvin (excessive and blind patriotism was the
original meaning) who was blindly devoted to Napoleon and became a
leading participant in a militaristic cult of his time.
