It's a phone induced misspelling of "demonetize"

Thanks for the correction. I totally suck at noticing misspellings on a phone and beat myself up afterwards.

Yes, it's an intentional misspelling

I wouldn't be surprised if they originally wrote it correctly and a phone's autocorrect "fixed" it for them

I normally don't call people out for it but you actually did misspell "monetized". ;)

According to people who know better, you misspelled the word "FUD".

Looks like a misspelling of "surveillance".

gok | karma 12320 | avg karma 6.11 · | 2019-12-04 17:40:05+00:00

They misspelled "steal"

In the full report -- as referenced by previous item <http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1138099>; -- it's suggested the misspelling was intentional to highlight a code of bolded 'T' and 'A' characters.

It's a pretty common spelling mistake.

myguysi | karma | avg karma · | 2019-07-04 17:46:26+00:00

Also “notification” was spelt incorrectly on that screenshot too

derleth | karma 5614 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2012-02-07 03:29:51+00:00

Is that a deliberate misspelling?

m-p-3 | karma 5698 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2018-10-24 22:05:47

The word is misspelled, it's agglutinate.

throghawayacct | karma 54 | avg karma 13.5 · | 2020-09-12 06:25:40+00:00

It was a purposeful misspelling lol
