    I have to put up with a production code path containing "Intergrated" instead of "Integrated". :mad: It's been there for years so no-one wants to touch it! :doh:

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

        This is from an enumeration: Completeed = 2, I could understand Compleeted, but this just leaves me teed. Now I'll have this shyte in my code. :mad: :sigh:

          In our company, the coding guidelines document (BTW, absolutely terrible) is called "Codding guidelines". And this is not typo, the document author thinks it is OK. Don't be surprised, we are working with nuggets.

                        I installed VAX when I was forced to use VS6 because it was the only IDE my boss was able to use. I admit that from VS2008 onwards it's less useful, yet it has some features that became absolutely paramount for me.

                            We have the word Cancel and its past tense in our domain. 11 years ago the standard (in US) was to spell the past tense as Canceled. Now, you'll find people and software spelling it as, Cancelled. We even have discussions with younger devs saying that it is mis-spelled in the older versions. Oy! It's like the Master Grammarian-Spellers gave in to the oft mis-spelled version and said, "Screw it, you can speel it either way." This must be how irregardless came to have the same meaning as regardless.

                                No, but when I serialize the enum value to a string (I don't trust this company to not change the ordinal values), I don't want the client-side Javascript to continue this atrocity, so it looks like I'll have either a special handler case or map the enum with the typo to my own enum and deal with ordinal value changes if they happen. Or some other half-assed solution.

                                  I recently made a typo in my code, quite consistently too. A coworker pointed it out, we had a laugh about it, and I spent about ten minutes renaming all the properties and variables where the word was used :) Another coworker once put the Dutch equivalent of "Are you sute?" (instead of "sure") in a WinForms app. We fixed it on our own, but no doubt the customer had already seen it :-o I once found a typo on the pre-printed invoice paper of our customers (it was in the tiny letters). And an aunt who makes her own soap had a typo on her packaging, which she found after she had quite a few pressed. A typo could happen to anyone really.

                                  Of course. But the damn thing should be fixed. Like you did. Good for you! Sadly, because this is third party software, I can't fix it. I can only "convert" it: var myEnum = (ProperlySpelledEnum)yourF*ckedUpEnumValue; Or is it "Spelt", because that's what the Brits and other more civilized people would probably use. :sigh:

                                      "Cancelled" is, and always has been, the correct spelling. The Americans use the discount version of English with several letters missing from words, such as what should be a double "L" is replaced by a single, and the worst offence replacing "ou" with "o", for example "color" instead of the correct "colour" leading to the correct statement, "There is no honour or valour in America". ;P

                                      - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                          Do y'all pronounce the words kul-owr or kul-er, on-owr or on-er, val-owr or val-er? No ow, no need for that 'u' in the word. Granted, as a Southerner we do pronounce some words, um, differently, than you would expect. There is a town in Northwest Georgia whose name is spelled Armuchee. Correctly pronounced, meaning the way the locals pronounce their town name, it is are-mer-chee. They add an extra R in the word. Atlanta news stations hate when it gets in the news because they always mispronounce it. I don't press a button, I mash it.
