Literally the only reason why I still bump into Reddit even when I’m not trying to.

Here’s an example from real life. When I searched for “ipados brave yutube ads adblock”, I found some Reddit posts discussing the issue.

Spoiler: Ditch brave and switch to something else.

BTW, Reddit is currently in the “hold my beer” sort of state when it comes to shooting itself in the foot.

...was the search actually misspelled that badly?

Missing one letter is a severe misspelling?

And that’s on a good day. Can you imagine how my spelling looks like in the morning before having coffee and/or when I’m standing in a train during the rush hour? It’s so far from human readable, that I’m inclined to call it a type of encryption.

The MD algorithm does make text hard to parse.

Oh wow ... You think one letter is the only problem with that?

Let's run this through one word at a time

ipados - name of a product, trademarked, spelled correctly

brave - normal English word, spelled correctly

yutube - missing the letter "o"

ads - normal English word, spelled correctly

adblock - name of a product, spelled correctly. Not an extension available for the browser in question as far as I can tell, but that's the kind of thing you find out when you google it
