Funny Mistype

[Commander Azure]

I was writing an essay for school, when I realized I had accidentally capitalized Identity. Anyone else have any funny stories like that?

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...

Go ahead. If you do, I'll rattle out all of the extenuating circumstances.

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?

You may not have a pen, so just verbally consent. The answer choices are: Yes - Sure - Fine, but leave me alone.

Uh... no, because the period is immediately after the parentheses.

I don't consent to this contract.

Apologies, be we enjoy people not sounding like cretins out of s sewer at the age of fifty.

Also, I sometimes say Storming instead of fuc$ing randomly when I'm mad but not too mad.

[Kingsdaughter613 she/her]

I keep capitalizing Shard names. Also words like Invest, Identity, Connection, etc.

Rust and Ruin. Storm. Rusts. Shards and Splinters (this one I invented as something a Worldhopper might use; it fits with the Cosmere, I think.) Harmony. Survivor.

[Hoid the Former Drifter he/him]

oh yeah. forgot these: sweet harmony, survivor, survivor's spear, stormfather, aisha, starvin', shella

Correction: My grammar and spelling is terrible. Sadly, some people on the Shard hate this and correct people often.

 

Obviously this is a joke.

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!"

Lol. This reminds me of the time I won bananagrams with Shakespearean English. Highlights included: Thane, jape, and quim. Hey, when you have qs and js you have to get creative!
