Talk:Typographical personification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is a merging of "typo fairy" and typo demon", thanks for doing that. The talk pages are still there. Where does the "19th century" bit come from, though? --Kizor 14:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

This article is a bit silly. David G Brault 04:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Not everything in an an encyclopedia is going to be about something very serious.--み使い Mitsukai 15:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Mitsukai. Good article. I changed the "piss" in the Swedish section, as it's probably not quite the right style for an encylcopedia. Globaledits 12:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitely Silly

You know, by and large, I'm an inclusionist - if someone is interested enough in something to write an article about it, then who are we to say that it is not notable? However, since Wikipedia is the opposite of what I personally believe, if Brian Peppers isn't allowed to stay, then this survey of Scandinavian synonyms for "Typo fairy" is DEFINITELY not notable.

[edit] Nisse

I question the explication for the Swedish and Danish words. "Nisse" can be an elf, but it is also a common name. A similar expression in English would be "Typo Bob" or "Typo John". Some people may perceive Tryckfelsnisse as an elf, but I am pretty sure many just see it as a fictitious human. Mlewan 09:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
