Writing bloopers XDb

I used "assassinator" instead of "assassin" for a fic I wrote in 2005 and NOBODY told me "assassinator" wasn't a real word until I found it myself some ten years later when I was editing it to repost it. Pfft. I also confused "rummage" and "rampage" in another old fic, a mistake that I caught some ten years later (again)...

A friend once read a fic with the typo "he made her shit next to him" instead of "sit." Not to mention all those astronomy papers I've read where "redshift" became "redshit"... One should always ctrl-f "shit" in their writing to make sure there isn't an unfortunate typo lmao
