Your worst typos WaniKani has accepted

I think I just put in “East africa” for 東アジア and got it marked right :sweat_smile: that might be a good one to check.

I think I was thinking it was “south africa”, because I started typing the reading with “minami”… and then realized I was looking at the wrong thing. Not sure how I ended up typing “east” and not “south” in that case, I guess that’s what I get for doing reviews while somewhat spaced out :joy:

I can see doing that. I think I almost did that one myself recently. Got it added to the block list!

I finally realized why this tripped me up— the radical called “easy” (易) is taught at this level. ヽ(;▽;)ノ At last I can rest!!!

I am so tired today :joy:
I did think the correct answer, of course. In fact, I even paused and formed the words properly in my head instead of letting it be a muddle of brain vibes. So I know I had this right before I started typing. And then my brain misfired and typed “d” instead of “th”… I need more sleep :rofl:

Do you do these on purpose, or do your fingers kind of do what they want sometimes? (I don’t mean for that to sound rude; I’m sorry if it does)

Not on purpose, no. But I’m typing all day for various reasons, so my fingers get really lazy. Also no worries, not rude at all! :orangutan: :olive:

I dunno, if you’re gonna write the kanji while drunk, you might as well type the answer while drunk too.

Or maybe when loaded on anti-hay-fever meds…

I usually get prompted to add “to” when I forget it, and I didn’t this time, it just gave me the “your answer was a bit off, be sure to check it” note :thinking: Not sure if that’s intentional?

Unrelated, a typo that wanikani did not accept: sometimes I do reviews while sleepy, and I’ve had this happen a couple of times where one of my fingers rested on a key and inserted a bunch of extra characters just as I was submitting it :joy:


I kinda wish duplicate characters like these could be accounted for, but I imagine it might lead to other tricky issues and be too much of an edge case to bother with. Alas… :face_with_hand_over_mouth: since it was a kanji, I rolled back and accepted having to redo some of my reviews.

Thanks! I let the content team know about the warning to find out if it was intentional.
