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!
