I don't know how much you know about this guy:
His name is Thomas de Mahy and he was the Marquis de Favras during the French Revolution. He was arrested and condemned to death on the testimony of two men, but without corroborating evidence.
So why does he get his own post on Extreme English Teachers? Because of his last words.
Upon reading his death warrant, his only response was, "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes."
Ha! THAT is AWESOME! If you've got to go, might as well go out in style.
If you want to know more about this guy (sadly, his life isn't full of grammar and spelling zingers to his enemies), you can read more at History 101.
