I don't think Wharf means Pier, a wharf is usually on solid ground whereas a Pier is a finger-like structure out into the water like a more solid Jetty.
Unit of power.....Watt..............Unit of power.....Watt..............Unit of power.....Watt......................Sounds like an Abbott and Costello skit.
I agree, since Jetpunk in general accepts close or phonetic mispellings.
But I have to say that just because a word is pronounced differently from one variety of English to another doesn't necessarily make it written differently, since English isn't phonetic. I wouldn't expect Jetpunk to accept "leftenant" for lieutenant just because British English speakers pronounce it that way, or "erb" because American English speakers don't pronounce the h in "herb", or "erl" for "oil" because Southerners pronounce it that way.
But Jetpunk certainly could accept these mispellings if they're common enough, because it usually doesn't aim for being a spelling test.

- A wingman can accompany anyone who's on the pull, and does not exclusively accompany a "pickup artist".
