Commander Azure Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I was writing an essay for school, when I realized I had accidentally capitalized Identity. Anyone else have any funny stories like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Why... why? However, I do have the nasty habit of often holding the shift key too long or too late, resulting in things like(and these don't count as misspells, if you reference them I'll ignore it): I"m, YOu, jOker... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was in a thread called Funny Mistype where we were telling people about our mistypes(or at least I was). I mentioned that I often hold the shift key too long or start too late and end up with weird capitalization. That good enough for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+robardin Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I have been initially surprised and annoyed that certain "obvious" words were not accepted as playable in Words With Friends. Most recently, it was OBLIGATOR (as an extension of my opponent's word, GATOR). "Oh, so a slangy abbreviation of ALLIGATOR is acceptable, but not.. Oh, right, fictional." On the other hand, I recently won a prize in a competitive word game because I came up with a word within 60 seconds that fit the category of "a gemstone" that was alphabetically closest (in ascending order) to the previous word, GERANIUM. Literally everybody else in the room (of about 20 well-read and knowledgeable people) came up with JADE. (Well, someone tried "INDIA, STAR OF", which was laughed away.) I came up with HELIODOR, a term that nobody else even recognized. The dictionary was consulted, and I was validated. When asked how I knew this word, I just replied that "I'd read it in a book somewhere" and not with, "You know, it's the one you need to Soulcast meat for flangria, and apparently to power a healing fabrial for Regrowth!"
