What word?

There’s a whole novel (SF) by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller (2009): Fledgling one main theme of which is exactly the issue of how you know whether your copy of a source is accurate… and how you discover it isn’t if all your work is based on your copy.

Literally now has more than one meaning, so now it is its own antonym. Soon “antonym” will be redefined so that antonym will by the antonym of antonym.

The word is “gasp”

Dictionary, worthless unless you know how to spell the word. Spell Check is OK too if you know how to spell the word

As they say “it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you”.;-D

Misspeled

It is spelled I*N*C*O*R*E*C*T*L*Y

good luck rectifying that – I hope it’s not “Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocaniosis”

Webster? That little African-American kid from the 1980s sitcom with Alex Karras?

If you’re so certain that it’s misspelled that you don’t believe Webster’s Dictionary, then there might be a different issue at play.

When you can’t ever admit you are wrong, you often think the whole world is out to get you. You may be right about that.

Blame your spelling teacher

That other spelling? Never existed. Must be the Mandela effect.

“And how are you, Ms Wilson?” ☺

Is there such a thing as being too right?

It’s pretty bad when you’re being gaslighted by a dictionary.

Look. if you can understan what is writen, what diference deos the spelling mak.

Kidnaping! (one p not two!)

Wally is the ultimate Influencer! Bad to the bone!

But EVERYTHING is part of a global conspiracy!!! Just ask the political party of your choice.

Hmm. Maybe she is wrong.

But Spellcheck and similar programmed spelling checkers often do not recognize accepted alternative spelling (e.g., differences between British and American English)….

There are a lot of jokes involving someone dying and going to Heaven and being told that God will answer any one question the decedent asks. The question asked involves one of the number of current conspiracy theories (flat Earth, vaccination, was there another shooter on the grassy knoll, etc.) After God provides the true, non conspiracy answer, the dead person either thinks or says “Wow. This goes much higher up than I ever suspected.”. This misspelled word is just a take off on that.

Wally would not break away from his favorite game to help with that because he did not think of it…!

Subtlety from Scott Adams? never thought I’d see the day!
