Answers you deliberately misspell because of Type Ins

Submitted by nichster on May 21, 2025
Are there any answers to quizzes that you deliberately misspell because either:

1. You can't spell the answer properly

2. It is easier to misspell it for time

3. You like misspelling it for fun

4. Another reason?

For me, I always deliberately forget the 'h' in Kazakhstan because it is easier for time and I just have gotten used to spelling it that way.

To be fair Teheran is how to spell it in French

Some of my deliberated abuses of type-ins:

kirgistan ; kazakstan ; napidaw ; misisipi.

It's ugly, but very useful when it comes to saving some precious time on certain quizzes.

I don't deliberately misspell answers, I may do it inadvertently.

I do use the many abbreviations though, KSA, DPRK, DRC, etc.

The one I always spell right though is probably the hardest, Kyrgyzstan. It's the one good thing about my time on Orcspel before I discovered JetPunk. They make you spell it out properly on their quizzes, plus you have to type Bosnia and Herzogovina in full on their COTW quiz.

I never use the DRC abbreviation, because "Congo" so frequently gives 2 answers on many quizzes.

I spelled Portuguese portugese for the longest time and didn't know until a quiz didn't have auto type ins on

Not a mispelling but: NYC for New York even when it doesn't refer to the city.

I used to spell the Phillippines as Phillipines, but that was just because I thought that was how it was spelled, and didn't care enough after the quiz to check how I spelled it

I don't really misspell anything. I also think JetPunk type-ins are much too lax. You can type Tajnevergonnagiveyouupstan and that will work for Tajikistan.

I don't use any misspellings on JetPunk quizzes (at least not intentionally). I know there's a speed advantage for some answers but as a casual player I mostly just want to properly learn the information, including the spelling.

still always spell luxemburg and lichenstein just because those were easier for me to type back when I was first starting
