I promise I'm a good speller
« on: 2023-02-02 03:47:52 »
This sentence is a test because I can't remember.

This forum used to have a hidden prank.

Where if you typed a certain word, it would replace it.

It would replace it with a misspelled version of it.

And it did so quietly. Most people didn't notice.

But I can't remember which word it was.

So, really, this post is twofold. Firstly, a weird attempt to reproduce. But secondly...

If anyone is reading this, do you remember which word it was?

Damn. I thought it was the word "because".

I thought it changed it to "Beacause".

And yes, I'm fully aware that "Beacause" is the actual spelling of a mod.

Anyway...

I believe it was changing “of course” to “off course”. I vaguely remember seeing that pop up a few times. Maybe it was a random correction.
