@Chigaze@cosocial.ca seems to be regional to my Sent folder; and still the survey has been running 7-8% in agreement with me, so either we confidently can't spell, or there's a bit of language evolution. Either way, I did not expect the response this would get... plus the pun I dropped last night, I've had to kill my Ivory notifications...!

    @mWare@ottawa.place While I don’t doubt it’s getting used I suspect it’s pretty limited. At the very least its usage isn’t common enough (yet) to have made it into any dictionaries or etymology references I checked.

    @mWare@ottawa.place Not just you as I did find a Reddit thread from 12 years ago on this. I do think it's one of those potential language changes that may have happened in the absence of spell check but now it may just get stamped out.
