Where does this Etherium-meme(?) come from? I’ve seen several people writing Etherium and Monaro instead of Ethereum and Monero on mailing lists, but never understood what it means and where it comes from.
- UncleEntity 4y agoSince when is bad spelling a meme?
- chidg 4y agoThis particular misspelling happens often enough (on this forum) that I don't think it's unreasonable to think that some people are doing it intentionally as a form of trolling.
- mccorrinall 4y agoIt must be a meme, especially since a quick search reveals that joe_the_user wrote it correctly 1 year ago!
- joe_the_user 4y agoMy gawd, I'm moderately dyslexic and I need to check my spelling on everything unusual. I generally succeed but this time I didn't. It's truly bizarre that you think there's anything weird here. Overall, I'd suspect people not immersed in the crypto world would easily fall into a spelling that "sounds" like they remember it - spelling phonetically is a lousy way to spell but some percentage of the world does it.
- mccorrinall 4y agoOh, nevermind then.
- joe_the_user 4y agoMaybe 'cause they're phonetically similar?
- mccorrinall 4y agoYou tell me! So, there is no interesting lore behind it?
