Also, Therefore, And, Anyway, But, Who, Why, Besides, However.
Each in caps 5 times with the same word with a period and space after each word and newline at the end is what I have found so far.
Can anyone find others?
Edit: added words that work found in other comments, and found more.
- cmg 4y agoInterestingly, "Or. Or. Or. Or. Or." doesn't trigger it.

- DonHopkins 4y agoBy DeMorgan's Law and Bill and Ted's Excellent Low Precedence Right Associative Postfix Sarcastic Not, "Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Not!" crashes.
- chris_wot 4y agoI love this comment and I live Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure so I transitively love you.
- JoshuaDavid 4y agoProbably the weirdest one I've found is "Dearness." "Although", "Besides", and "Moreover" also trigger the behavior.
- ineedasername 4y agoHow did you stumble on Dearness?
- JoshuaDavid 4y agoStarted running through the entire dictionary in batches of 500 words to see if each batch of 500 triggered the behavior, then binary search within the batch to find the problem word(s). Got bored partway through D. Edit: Got unbored. Discovered that "Firstly", "Secondly", "Thirdly", and "Fourthly" trigger the bug, but "Fifthly" and above do not. Edit 2: The first word can actually be any of the "problem" words -- "Also. And. And. And. And." also has the issue.
- ineedasername 4y agoThat sounds about right for HN, well done.
- hnaccount_rng 4y agoUpvote for unbored. And a perfect illustration for HN xD
- rob74 4y agoHow about "Whereas", "Insofaras", "Notwithstanding", "Thetruthofthematter", or "Despiteallobjections"? Didn't try them, but these were "reserved words" in Go (actually an easter egg) until 2017 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2489803/notwithstanding-keyword https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2489803/notwithstanding-...).
- astrange 4y agoThis is the strangest parsing fact I've learned since PHP having a token named T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM. (Because the parser was developed in Israel.) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/592322/php-expects-t-paamayim-nekudotayim https://stackoverflow.com/questions/592322/php-expects-t-paa...
- nonsince 4y agoI don’t speak hebrew but someone online said that this is an unnecessarily literal translation of "double colon" and it’s not what most developers would call it. Take that with a grain of salt though.
