-10 for 'executer'. As far as I can find out, it is a misspelling of 'executor'. If the designers of some other language made a stupid mistake, let them correct it instead of us following them over a cliff.

I'd suggested this because it seemed obvious to me, but clearly not. Compare: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/executor http://www.thefreedictionary.com/executer

However, as I mentioned in the first place I didn't expect any change of this since Java uses the first spelling.
