- oh_sigh 4y agoWhere is it spelled incorrectly or inconsistently? I hate how much they used it in the article (20 times), already a kind of a funny word set up for semantic satiation - but I didn't notice those errors.
- matthewsmith2 4y agoThere are multiple uses of Habringer as the spelling
- jhugo 4y agoAll of the mistakes are in this paragraph: > The researchers also claim that harbinger households voluntarily cluster: that when a harbinger household moves, it is likely that it will move to another habringer ZIP code (and nonhabringers move to nonhabringer households). Moreover, harbingers don't appear to learn their preferences from one another — a nonhabringer household that locates in a harbinger ZIP code doesn't alter its purchasing and political contributions to "loser" products and candidates.
- standardly 4y agoSatiate me semantically please sir
- mistersquid 4y ago> There are multiple uses of Habringer as the spelling A “Habringer” is someone who brings the “Ha”.
- elSidCampeador 4y agosmh you beat me to it
- oh_sigh 4y agolol, thank you. I will admit my logic for searching for errors was to ctrl-f for "harb" and then see how many matches had "r" vs "i" as the next letter. I never really contemplated that someone would misspell it in that manner.

- doodlebugging 4y agoI agree. The inconsistency is like a text-based speed bump slowing my progress thru the paragraph and, like a physical speed bump, forcing me to look around to try to determine why the bump was necessary.
