Um...am I missing something? There's no typo in there.

(Unless, of course, that's not the way it's spelled in the game.)

If that's being funny, I can't imagine sitting next to you through a full half hour of Wheel.  All those correctly spelled puzzles must be insane.

Here's a few straws you can grasp at.

I don't see why you even felt it necessary to make the post anyway...but that's just me.

Now now, guys, he's taken his lumps, he's been a good sport about it, and there is no need to rub his nose in it. I was just thrilled to see someone here Rotsky. :)

I've said it before, many many times.  If you're going to come in here ridiculing somebody else for a mistake, you better be really, really sure you're right.  Otherwise, yeah, you deserve every bit of the ridicule (and more) that you intended to heap on someone else.

I don't know why anyone would wanna go to Tucson.....that place is a dump, haha. But actually, that's a common mispelling (spelling it Tuscon I mean), so you can cut him a little bit of slack.

You could cut the game a little slack if it had made the typo, seeing how it's commonly misspelled. But pointing out a mistake that isn't there, especially if the mistake is as excusable as you say, is grounds for whatever's coming. Obviously, it's nothing personal, but it's something that should be taken into account for the future.
