It blows my mind that HN post submitters don't do a simple spell check on their post titles.

- curiousObject 2y agoThat mistake ‘an’ is in the original blog title. I assume this was posted by the blog author A simple spellcheck won’t detect it but grammar check might. Edit: the reason is probably that the writer is saying “eleven hundred”. It sounds OK but looks strange in writing
- quesera 2y agoThe "an" is correct, if you read the number as "eleven hundred and fifteen".
- geerlingguy 2y agoYeah, it's a fun edge case of writing numbers in numeral form... it could be wrong or could be right, depending on how you read the number!
