>“As a global platform, Patron will..." Wait, they can't even spell the name of their own company correctly?

  Must have drank too much Patreon.

  Hm. That looks like a bad copy and paste on my part. I perhaps foolishly copy-and-pasted from a screenshot I'd taken rather than going right back to the Discord, so the text was generated by macOS's built-in OCR. I hadn't noticed that one, but I just checked and they did indeed spell "Patreon" correctly. :)

    > copy-and-pasted [text] from a screenshot It's kind of amazing that that's even a thing, let alone that it's higher quality than a typical read-and-type copy.

      For how long OCR has existed, I'd expect better from a presumably high-resolution screenshot of text in a common font. Here we have deletion of an entire letter, a severe case of 'anti-contoot' [0] -- too aggressive NLP correction.
