The word is lens: there is no trailing E.

Take the time to check a dictionary every now and then.

Thank you

Excellent !
In International News Groups one can not get hung up on spelling variations.

variations.

To me, it is impolite to even correct anyone's English, unless the meaning
is ambivalent, or I sense that the poster would like to be corrected. After
all, If I had to post in another language, it would be a miracle if anyone
could understand me at all!

Surely you meant "ambiguous".

I think the colour of the correction depends very much on the donor. You
may be motivated by the desire to empower or demean the recipient. A donor
may make a grandiose correction for display purposes.

It's really down to the way that you do it.

"Abivalent" is not ambiguous in that statement.

He could have used "ambiguous", and that wouldn't be abivalent either.

Which is because, of course, the two words are synonyms, and therefore
ambiguous is abivalent and abivalent is abiguous, when used properly,
as he did.

Got that?

Gummo, you ignorant slut. The word is of course "color".
