Steve, it's "Mastodon" like the animal and like the band. It hurts to read 4 paragraphs of good relevant text and cringe every time you misspell the name. :(



Ah yeah. I struggle spelling certain words. This is one of them. Thank you and sorry. (I spell the animal and the band this way too. Working on it.)


At least you're not alone in this one - it's so common that e.g. anyone registering anything (domains etc.) with mastodon really ought to keep it in mine and register the equivalent with mastadon.


Hey thank you for the reply, I'm also sorry. I usually have better grace than correcting random strangers on their spelling, but I've shown weakness on this day. :)


It’s all good.

I think the funniest one I struggle with all the time is “parallel.” I always think it should be “paralell.” I put the two parallel lines in the wrong spot in the word!
