My brain just did something weird. Instead of instantly recognizing two concatenated words, it spent a while trying to work out the pronunciation of an apparently old English word, before Occam’s razor finally kicked in, hopefully before my vocabulary absorbed an errant entry.

Apologies (and too late to edit). Really crappy tablet soft-keyboard, and miss-, non-, and duplicate- keyregistrations.

That along with lack of preview or spellcheck, scroll-away-from-post mechanics, and tiny edit boxes, are my kryptonite.

Occasionally an amusing typo emerges, though not sufficient to compensate for the pain.
