What's weird to me is that this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling, which just shows how differently people type, I guess. I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I…

I recently found that I had typed 'hexadecimal' as 'hexademical' multiple times (only caught it via a spell checker).

There are a lot of causes for misspelled words. Most of them are not of mechanical nature.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No it's not. EDIT: It is not NSFW. If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you.

No it's not nsfw? Now I'm really confused, can I very paste this into slack #random or not?

I could at my job. My company is 80% women. They'd find it hilarious.

EDIT: Actually, just checked. They did find it hilarious.

Doesn't have quite the style of http://pythong.org [NSFW] (Didn't think to mark it until people commented, and technically there's no nudity, but if you are looking at it and someone passes your desk they'll THINK there is nudity, and if you are actually at work I think that passes the bar.)

Funny, but posting a NSFW site without a warning on a message board frequented by people at work is not okay.

I think the misspelling is more likely for someone who’s not super capable with English and doesn’t have familiarity with Git. Even for people who usually operate in (natural) languages that use the Latin alphabet (or something close to it, like the Greek or Cyrillic alphabets), without recognizing the cue word “hub,” “guthib.com” is as meaningful and memorable as “github.com.”

>if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers

Not all touch-typers use or ever even learned the formal touch-type method.

If that’s NSFW you need to stay off the internet.
