For anyone wondering, yes I do know how to spell "troops".
I submitted the story with its original title:
> Russian troops are proving that cell phones in war zones are a very bad idea
The HN code auto-corrected this in a most amazing way:
> Roops are proving that cell phones in war zones are a very bad idea
I was on mobile and tried to make the obvious correction to that, but missed a letter! And now the edit deadline has expired. Ah well.
This proves that with a combination of human and machine intelligence, anything can go wrong!
@dang If you see this, I wonder if you could fix my typo, and also in your copious free time figure out how the original title got corrected to "Roops"? :-)
