Has anyone else noticed they spelled pidgin as pidgeon? It's a really weird typo especially when you consider the link points to the right site and it can't be a spelling correction as both pidgin and pigeon are words but pidgeon is not [1]. It's also weird that a news outlet such as wired would make such a mistake.
[1] Though you might say it's a meta-pidgin borne out of the hybridization of pidgin and pigeon.
