How to install hobbiest CD?

I know this is a minor point ... but ... isn't that word supposed to be
spelled HOBBYIST? Being a foreigner I'm sensitive to differences in
application of suffixes, etc, and the "est" suggests a comparison, while the
"st" suffix is used to signify one who does whatever the preceding syllables
imply. I see this all the time in this forum, however, so please correct me
if I'm wrong.
