It's Simplygon and not simplygone. I would suggest you make a written note reminding that you sometimes misread words. And keep it near screen/phone.

Please don't post like this. It breaks the HN guidelines in many ways.

We ban accounts that do that repeatedly, as I'm sorry to say you have, so please take the rules to heart and fix this.

I know it's spelled Simplygon but it is pronounced the same way. If you said "Simplygon" to someone, they would probably think you'd said simply gone.

According to Wikipedia word polygon is pronounced as (/ˈpɒlɪɡɒn/) I don't see an e there.

But good job attempting to shame unrelated people with unrelated "reading disabilities"* just to make a point you don't even have.

* Which ones would that be? Reading what you read "aloud in your head" with an actual grasp how to pronounce things? Any others you care to make up, or was it just the one and you thought using the plural would make it an even more sick of a burn?

It's an intentional pun, so he's not really misreading anything.
