awesome, awesome tyop

[rushthatspeaks]

While proofing Thrud's diss I found-- well, my initial impulse was to say 'a typo no one else would have committed', except that I can think of at least five people of my acquaintance who might, including me, seishonagon, lignota, angstnokami, and sovay.

She spelled 'Augustus' as 'Avgvstvs'.

I know!

Since that usage is often seen in stone inscriptions, would it be a carvo?

The really amazing thing was that in this particular instance it was the name of a sixteenth-century German editor and had no classical connections whatever.

Ahaha excellent.

[aurelia-star.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic!

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

That is what the word "raensome" exists for, no ?

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[seishonagon.livejournal.com]

Why yes I totally have done that before would do that.

I can see that happening in Thrud's writing, either accidentally or on purpose.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

I almost didn't see it. It registered to me as reasonable.

Vnbelievably Avvesome

Is "tyop" intentional?

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Bvt of covrse!

That's awesome.

I do that sometimes with Russian. It was an occupational hazard to look at my geology lecture notes after going to Russian class and find that the first three or four sentences were routinely in Cyrillic.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

I lapse in and out of Latin sentence structure, which sometimes actually helps my English clarity, so I haven't tried to weed it out.

[seishonagon.livejournal.com]

Yes! I love the way Latin does that!

[papersky.livejournal.com]

That is indeed awesome.
