There is a typo in "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia," it should be "Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia" instead. (Also, it breaks the layout.)

- classified 4mo agoI bet that "p" just bounced out of pure spite.

- summarybot 4mo agoLet the ironic screaming at the sight of this word commence!
- bobson381 4mo agoalso interrobang is rendered as bang-interro (!?) when it should be interro (?) then bang (!) -> (?!)
- spelufo 4mo agodo you really think so?! I think bang-interro just didn't sound as nice and that's probably why it is called an interrobang.
- egypturnash 4mo agoNo, it should be rendered with the proper Unicode: U+203D ‽
- zamadatix 4mo agoThere isn't a "correct" way to incorrectly render the interrobang as 2 separate characters. The name was never supposed to suggest a certain ordering instead of just being both at the same time. The name "interrobang" just sounded better than "exclamaquest" (or any of the alternatives Type Talks readers submitted).
- bobson381 4mo agoHuh, interesting. I retract my previous statement! I'd love to read about this if you have a source.

- alun 4mo agoI kind of like how it breaks the layout, since it's such a ridiculous word
- olalonde 4mo agoAh, that explains why I got it wrong.
