Putting aside the perennial 'Rouge Trader' and the relatively recent 'rabid fire guns', what is your favorite common misspelling you see in posts about 40K?

The reason I ask is because I see 'Lynchguard' showing up relatively often and I find it far more funny than I should. I'm picturing a bunch of white hooded Redemptionists riding up to a Necron Lord, followed by the 'Lynchguard' phasing in to protect him from a good old-fashioned hanging.

**Moronic Nonsense**

Even better than 'Lynchguard', My phone tries to correct the word and if I don't catch it, it says 'Lunchguard'

One of the most common I've seen is "Pysker" instead of Psyker. It's even on the GW website somewhere.

**daedalus**

Canadian Shock Troops. From Canadia, I guess, that planet located just north of Cadia.

Most of the others just get on my nerves.

**BlapBlapBlap**

I think it's got something to do with people's auto-correcting phones.

**DeffDred**

Ursakar as Urkasar.

Urkasar is my WoW druid.

Ursakar is TACTICAL GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Grimtuff**

Those wonderful calvary units in many armies. Battle tanks that fire Ordinance. Those same tanks that have turrents.

The list goes on.

They ride into battle on the backs on the mighty Moosen, hurling empty beer cans as they go.

Apparently there is a typo in the German BRB that describes the Emperor as "geilig", which means horny.

There is also a translation error in the Imperial Guard German Codex that claims that Valkyries "...dropping troops an covering them in heavy weapons fire...".

In the CSM Codex there is apparently a missspell that says Fabius Bike.

**Oppressor**

Daemons and Daemonhunters.

Kidding!

**Farseer Mael Dannan**

I have a friend who constantly says Dark Templars and Black Angels in place of the proper names. No matter how many times I tell him, same thing!

tanks can have side 'sponsors' as if they are running for office or some such.

Knowing the Imperial guard, this has happened somewhere, dropping troops and bombs at the same time.

Well, In nid lists I've seen lot of "ravenger" (instead of ravener), and the use of the word "gaunts" for termagants (confusion termaGANTs / hormaGAUNTs)

But my favorite is .... '"ymgarl genestealers"

While of course being incredibly polite to everyone they encounter.

Though there was an awesome one someone made for his imperial guard "canadians" army on the mini war gaming site:

It actually looks pretty cool, almost makes me want to pick up guard.

One my phone and computer have trouble with is Orks it always yells at me that its wrong that way.

**Just Dave**

Halbreds, Halbreds everywhere.

**hotsauceman1**

Gauss weapons as guess weapon.

**Jackal**

and the use of the word "gaunts" for termagants

That would be because they have only recently seperated them.
The old box of troops (8 terms, 8 horms) was actually just called "Tyranid Gaunts"

**daedalus**

You sure it wasn't just Tyranid "Gants"?

JB

Missle launchers and sargents

**Gargantuan**

Standard Beaver

Found that typo in an old White Dwarf.

**HeadRipper**

This fat chinese kid about 13-14 near the store I play at says "Marinus Calgdar" and "PEE-Silencers" and "ork Norb squad" and "Truk-KAY" because of the double letter.
