@opencage @erralin That's where the C language demontrates its superiority: it is almost impossible to misspell its name.

@opencage hey, just some friendly advice, not meant as criticism, but just something to think about next time: this would be a lot funnier for alt-text users if the alt text would actually describe what the text is.

since the input was text, I'm quite sure it would be possible to just copy-paste it.

easiest and most comprehensible would be something like "screenshot of around 20 vastly different spellings of the word python" 😊

Pthon is the only one without an 'y'. Pthon is the dark incarnation of the urgod, whose tendrils cause gibbering madness and ecstasy in his cultists.

@opencage The list is hilarious as a whole, but “pythons” made me lol

@opencage

All contain at least two of the Letters P y t n. Easy.

@opencage sounds like something that Youtube's PronunciationManual
(the pronunciation guide you should not use) would suggest

It's an occupational hazard when you're too used to hitting TAB to autocomplete...

@opencage can’t believe pythong isn’t in here

@opencage I'll update my list of shell aliases, thanks

@opencage Or as I heard someone call it a long time ago, Guido's little language. But oddly enough, now when I google for that phrase, I find just one hit. I thought it used to be a common derogatory name for Python...

(Note: Personally I have nothing against Python. What I find irritating, though, is Perl criticism (always the same jokes about line noise etc) from people who have never even used it back in the days when it did seem like a good idea.)

@opencage plot twist: they're all real and they're all different forks
