I'm exactly the same as yourself as I find it so frustrating especially when you see it spelt that way on aviation sites, typical of journalism though such as The Sun newspaper to spell it that manner.

It's not as if the airfields name has ever changed during it's lifetime as it has always been called STANSTED.
