LOL!!! Good point, except that it *is* a slightly different word. In addition, I've never even heard or seen "niggerly" anywhere, and the context should have been sufficient to prevent the misunderstanding. The ignorance of the audience is first and foremost the cause. Still, any speaker these days who doesn't have the good sense to find a synonym is really asking for it.
