- dragonwriter 6y ago> Homonyms are not typos though. Homonyms that are close in spelling can be typographical errors, and, because they aren't as visually-wrong as non-words, are particularly likely to escape notice when they are. They can also be a different class of errors. > I'm familiar with both definitions of the word. You mean “the definitions of both words”, surely?

- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI don't find dragonwriter to be unreasonable. Instead, I find your expectations to be rather surprising. You expect to not be called out on misusing language? On a board with a large number of programmers, to whom the details of language use really matter? You can think that this instance doesn't deserve the nitpicking. But getting all huffy and accusing the other side of being unreasonable seems to me to be rather over-sensitive.
