At this point most students learning about that number assume it's misspelled when first introduced and incorrect the teacher.
>>incorrect the teacher.
Did you just use incorrect as a verb?

I really hope they implemented this as an enum, so someone has to wade through: enum PricePoint { UNKNOWN = 0; NINTEY_NINE_CENTS = 1; ONE_DOLLAR = 2; TWENTY_DOLLARS = 3; NINETEY_EIGHT_CENTS = 4; DEPRECATED_NINETY_SEVEN_CENTS = 5; TEN_DOLLARS_PER_MONTH = 6; PORTUGAL_NAT…
Lol, few things trigger my OCD more than misspelled words in identifiers. I legit missed important use case while amending legacy system just because someone decided to have “priveleges” in the variable name. I hope all those ways to spell number 90 are part of the joke.
In an old code base I worked in, someone misspelled “params” as “parms.” Always made me want a sandwich.

In a triple A game I worked on, the PlayStation button enums were CROSS, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, and...... CRIRCLE. Would drive me absolutely livid. But of course no one was allowed to fix is since it was already in a few different games, countless script files, network-controlled configs etc.....
CROSS = 1
CRIRCLE = 2
CIRCLE = CRIRCLE

I feel your pain. A company I work for has a weird name that doesn't follow the rules of English spelling correctly (I can't say more without giving away the company name). This was an intentional decision and poses enough of a problem for guests visiting the company. But the absurd thing is this company decides to double down on it's troubles by naming all of it's projects using the same broken rule as the company t…
You mean like Optimizely? I thought most startups these days had absurd adjectiverbnoun names.

Probably because they are more than one company

Sounds like a lisper.

I worked with a (home-rolled at the company, but long before my time with no compilation documentation) comms library that had functions named "receive" and functions named "recieve".
Even better, the library was called into as a COM object by a Visual Basic Script script, and the misspelled corner case only got hit rarely. Figuring out that the problem was the correctly spelled function call was a joy.

Does the settlement allow for alternative payment methods to be cheaper?
They are already allowed to be cheaper. This is just saying you can email people about it outside of the app.
It seems like nothing in this prevents a new rule, however, that says you can't sell it cheaper on your own website. Amazon has been doing this with Kindle indy authors for a long time.
