To make it a little easier for me, suggested entries should follow the below pattern: Typo: (Term or) Description of the meaning of the typo (see Cross Reference). <link> (If possible provide a link to the location/s where you saw the typo) or Typo: (Term or) 1: Description of the meaning of the typo. 2: Alternative description of the meaning of the typo (see Cross Reference). <link> (If possible provide a link to the location/s where you saw the typo) --------------------(LIST)-------------------- Abbys: (Abyss or) The Outer Plane of advice-to-the-lovelorn columnists.

Sorceror: (Sorcerer or) a very furious arcane magic user. Might want to edit that typo (enity?), dude... Other than that, there's the way too common "Rouge/Rogue" and many more... And though not common, one that got me laughing a lot was "Snort sword" instead of "Short sword"...
Enkeli 06-28-04, 07:48 AM	Sorceror and sorcerer are alternative spellings, so I'm not sure if it qualifies as a typo (except when referring specifically to the D&D class).
Seeker95 06-28-04, 09:35 AM	Sorcer (Sorcerer or) A dish often supporting a cup. Dangerous as animated objects. Rouge (Rogue or) A thief caught red-handed.
Escef 06-28-04, 09:55 AM	Originally posted by Seeker95 Sorcer (Sorcerer or) A dish often supporting a cup. Dangerous as animated objects. Rouge (Rogue or) A thief caught red-handed. Seeker, that was bad enough to be one of my jokes. ;)

But, in all seriousness: Feet (Feat or): A game mechanic that represents an essential part of the character's ability to walk. No joke. I've seen that typo. I wonder how long will it take till someone typoes "Expert" as "Eggspert"...

The other one is not really a typo it is "aso." meaning and so on, but I am sure you wanted to make fun of me :( Seeker95 - did you actually see this typo on the boards? I am not quite sure what you want to say, could you explain it for the really dumb people (read ME)?:confused:

Seeker95 07-03-04, 09:01 PM	Originally posted by Fizl I liked that defence goes round degarden, but its also spelt corrrectly (the english way, of course)By English, Fizl means British-English, just in case anyone is confused.

Sylvaroth 07-28-04, 09:48 AM	UPDATED July 27, 2004 The Wizards message boards will be undergoing an upgrade to the latest available version of its software starting Monday, August 2nd. At that time, we will be taking the boards down for a few hours during the day to make some needed server software upgrades and then will return service to the message boards. We will then be using a snapshot of the current boards and working to make the boards software changes offline. The boards will remain live during this period, however, posts made between the snapshot and the switch to the upgraded boards will be lost. This method is in lieu of having to take the current boards down completely for the entire duration of the upgrade. Registration will be turned off during this timeframe as well. We will work to keep the timeframe of these conditions as short as possible, but it may last as long as a week. -Melanie Creel Community Manager
Sylvaroth 09-11-04, 02:38 AM	Now that the boards are (for the most part) back online I would like to continue this thread. I would like to start with this entry I found on trollbill's unofficial dictionary of common D&D message board terminology: i believe this is where the fabled gazebo came from. The Gazabo In the early seventies, Ed Whitchurch ran "his game", and one of the participants was Eric Sorenson. Eric plays something like a computer. When he games, he methodically considers each possibility before choosing his preferred option. If given time, he will invariably pick the optimal solution. It has been known to take weeks. He is otherwise, in all respects, a superior gamer. Eric was playing a Neutral Paladin in Ed's game. He was on some lord's lands when the following exchange occurred: Ed: You see a well groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo. Eric: A gazebo? What color is it? Ed: [pause] It's white, Eric. Eric: How far away is it? Ed: About 50 yards. Eric: How big is it? Ed: [pause] It's about 30 ft across, 15 ft high, with a pointed top. Eric: I use my sword to detect good on it. Ed: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo. Eric: [pause] I call out to it. Ed: It won't answer. It's a gazebo. Eric: [pause] I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way? Ed: No, Eric, it's a gazebo! Eric: I shoot it with my bow. [roll to hit] What happened? Ed: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it. Eric: [pause] Wasn't it wounded? Ed: OF COURSE NOT, ERIC! IT'S A GAZEBO! Eric: [whimper] But that was a +3 arrow! Ed: It's a gazebo, Eric, a GAZEBO! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a @#$%!! gazebo! Eric: [long pause. He has no axe or fire spells.] I run away. Ed: [thoroughly frustrated] It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo. It catches you and eats you. Eric: [reaching for his dice] Maybe I'll roll up a fireusing mage so I can avenge my Paladin. At this point, the increasingly amused fellow party members restored a modicum of order by explaining to Eric what a gazebo is. Thus ends the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. It could have been worse; at least the gazebo wasn't on a grassy gnoll. Thus ends the tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo. A little vocabulary is a dangerous thing. The story of Eric and the Gazebo is Copyright © 1989 by Richard Aronson. Reprinted with permission. The author grants permission to reprint as long as all copyright notices remain with the text. So relating to this what do you say about the Gazebo/Glabrezu entry: Keep or cancel?

e-z0r 01-23-05, 09:35 AM	One great typo I once saw was a mistyping of assassinator, which is some twisted version of an assassin. Anyway, beholde ye: the ASSINATOR. Is that not the most cruel thing to send after someone? I can imagine an Assinator casting the dread "Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion" spell from Rich Burlew's Order of the Stick. Terrible, I tell you.

Jagyr Ebonwood 01-23-05, 06:13 PM	Please refrain from taking this all to serious Emphasis mine :D
Seeker95 01-23-05, 07:47 PM	But what about the assinator?That's just a cheap knock-off. :P
e-z0r 01-24-05, 05:39 AM	That's just a cheap knock-off. :P Or perhaps it's an accessory to the appliance, designed for preparing delicious meals out of donkeys?
Sylvaroth 04-02-05, 09:39 AM	I think the April Fools features Typos of Doom from this (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20050401x&page=21) and the last (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20040401x&page=21) year provide us with great material to work with. What do you think?

BloodSpill 06-10-05, 04:31 PM	Defence is the non-americanised spelling of defense. It's not a typo. Are you promoting DISCRIMINATION? That said: Trean (Treant or): A dyrad named Anne. They called her Tree Anne. Alternative Trean (Treant or): The players realise that it would be a lot easier to get from point A to point B if a path had been cut through the forest to make way for trean tracks.

Example sentence: "He plz down the curtain." --Curtin (Curtain or) A can or box, made of alluminum, that traitors are placed in. --Conker (Conquer or) To agree OR A person who uses hammers very often. These are all honest to goodness misteaks that I have seen. (Though the "Plz" isn't really a typo, but I thought it belonged here)

MADGator 06-02-06, 10:37 AM	Ok good, Blood Spill already pointed out that defence is a british spelling. That's been the cause of some issues in the Download This! column at gamespy.
orionm42 06-02-06, 11:01 AM	Well, I have to add a serious one because it aggravates me every time I see it :rant:... Noone: Meaning no one... Sorry to derail the thread! :)
Sylvaroth 06-02-06, 01:29 PM	orionm42 and what do you think this could mean?
MADGator 06-02-06, 05:49 PM	Came across a good one earlier... Weapon Finess (aka Weapon Finesse): Financial penalties imposed on the PCs for carrying their swords into a restricted area. Alternatively, punishment imposed by the DM for a PC carrying so many weapons they would fall over.
Khael 10-15-06, 02:44 PM	Rouge: A class capable of delivering deadly sneak attacks to unsuspecting opponents, as well as possessing mastery at skills of suspect legality. Can also redden the cheeks to emphasize cheekbones.

Sylvaroth 12-06-06, 04:25 PM	I just realized, the DoT is in its third year now. Time for an update, I say. So here you go: Dot v1.3
Sylvaroth 12-07-06, 11:27 AM	Found in this Half-Ogre (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=10429258) thread: Too bad the half-ogre is only good at jobs that already give simple and marital weapon proficiency >_> Marital weapon proficiency ? Is it in Complete Husband guide ? :D The half-ogre gains a +2 racial bonus on saves against having to sleep on the couch! =)
Oswald Krato 12-07-06, 02:15 PM	Marital Weapon: (Martial weapon or) 1. Any object used during the "behind closed doors" portion of a non-traditional marital relationship (whips, chains, etc.) 2. A bouquet of flowers. (Ever see the fighting that goes on for one of those?)
Sylvaroth 12-07-06, 05:04 PM	1. Any object used during the "behind closed doors" portion of a non-traditional marital relationship (whips, chains, etc.) Those are exotic 'weapons'. I believe marital weapons are more along the line of dishes (ordinary or china), vases, etc for marital ranged weapons, kitchen knifes for light marital weapons, and chairs and other furnishings for heavy marital weapons. :evillaugh 2. A bouquet of flowers. (Ever see the fighting that goes on for one of those?) Actually I did, but I have really never seen them thrashing eachother with the bridal bouquet. :D Which makes me wonder if there are magic vorpal bride's bouquets. They would require a wedding bouquet of masterwork quality to be enchanted in the first place. Intelligent bridal flowers? Or even cursed ones (though, if you think about it, this could be the cause of the increasing rate of divorces).
Sylvaroth 12-08-06, 09:54 AM	Just found this: Explosive Ruins: (Explosive Runes or)...
Sylvaroth 12-14-06, 03:52 PM	Which is exactly why I feel PEACH is implied simply by posting on the web; it is the default posting stance. People who are seeking honest commentary and advice should not have to say so. They should also not have to proclaim that they can take frank replies. If the training wheels are off and you are out on the web, then you need to be able to deal with the contents of that environment or you need to be elsewhere. What we actually need is a tag acronym for those who think their post is perfect to begin with and who are too fragile to bear critical responses. How about: MOMMY'S BOYS (May Off Myself, Mind Your Sarcasm. Bland Obliging Yesmen Sought). If you put that in your post you would be proclaiming that you can't take criticism and want to hear only praise and adulation. Of course, if someone is that brittle and needy my only advice would be: Go up the arm, not across; you'll never get the job done that way. Uhhmm.. Is there a better acronym that could be used to describe the stance of asking for dishonest and non-critical replies? P.E.A.C.H., and we can figure it out. thee hee :D
Sylvaroth 03-29-07, 12:38 PM	I've got new ones: Banashment and Dismisal (both can no longer affect the Assimar ;)) Componants And one of my own: Mojority (which should have been majority, but came off as something about mojo :confused: )
khyron1144 03-29-07, 04:44 PM	I don't know if you can do anything funny with it, but I often end up with the word "form" when I try to type the word "from".
pukunui 03-29-07, 05:31 PM	ect - (misspelling of "etc", the abbreviation for et cetera, or) short for "ectoplasm" rougue - (misspelling of rogue/rouge or) a heavily made-up rogue

Icewraith 03-29-07, 06:07 PM	Mojority (Majority or): 1: A plurality of horny individuals. 2: A plurality of (horny) magic users.
CraggleRock 03-29-07, 06:14 PM	Componants: (Components or) Small insects of great worth to magic practitioners. They are highly valued having been hunted to near extinction, leading adventurers to contend greatly in their collection. Dismisal: (Dismissal or) A very poor attempt at dispelling summoned creatures. Dyrad: (Dryad or) A tree-hugger with a preference for tie-dye patterning. Explosive Ruins: (Explosive Runes or) What the egyptians were left with after employing Explosive Hieroglyphs.
Sylvaroth 03-29-07, 06:22 PM	Very good job, CraggleRock! Those are soooooooooo added :rofl: Still open: Lick Lord (Lich Lord) and Fire Vulerability
pukunui 03-29-07, 06:41 PM	Lick Lord: (Lich Lord or) a lich whose transformation process went awry, resulting in a salty quality in the lich's otherwise dry skin that deer find irresistably tasty.
CraggleRock 03-29-07, 06:49 PM	Very good job, CraggleRock! Those are soooooooooo added :rofl: Still open: Lick Lord (Lich Lord) and Fire Vulerability *Strikes an Elvis pose* Thankyouver'much Speaking of: perhaps elvis should be included as a typo for elvish? Not seen it, but it's hard to believe it hasn't happened somewhere :D And pukunui: that was fantastic... but rather bad for my cholesterol! ;)
pukunui 03-29-07, 06:53 PM	And pukunui: that was fantastic... but rather bad for my cholesterol! ;)LOL. I dunno why, but "lick lord" just made me think of the salt licks my friend's dad always had lying around for when he went out deerhunting. I'm sure I could think up something a tad risque, but this isn't in the "mature" forum, so I won't. ;)

pukunui 03-29-07, 07:07 PM	I second that, so next up: Elvis :D Also, well done pukunui!Cheers! If you're interested, here's a slightly revised definition: Lick Lord: (Lich Lord or) a lich whose transformation process goes awry, causing the lich's skin to retain some of the natron used to dry it out, the result of which is that the lich is compulsively licked by deer and other animals attracted to salt whenever it comes near them. :rofl: Knowing the 'mature' boards this thread would be more fitting there wouldn't it? :DIndeed.
