Since when is bad spelling a meme?



This particular misspelling happens often enough (on this forum) that I don't think it's unreasonable to think that some people are doing it intentionally as a form of trolling.


It must be a meme, especially since a quick search reveals that joe_the_user wrote it correctly 1 year ago!


My gawd, I'm moderately dyslexic and I need to check my spelling on everything unusual. I generally succeed but this time I didn't. It's truly bizarre that you think there's anything weird here.

Overall, I'd suspect people not immersed in the crypto world would easily fall into a spelling that "sounds" like they remember it - spelling phonetically is a lousy way to spell but some percentage of the world does it.


Oh, nevermind then.
