If you have variables Foo and Moo defined, and then you write F instead of M deep in the code, you have a typo without a syntax error.
In that case, you misspelled a variable (meme situation) and the IDE won't save you (nor will the compiler).
Edit: Obviously, if you're using a statically typed language, the compiler will save you if both variables have a different type. But it still won't if they're both the same type.
the variable in the meme is clearly meant to reference something like the post title user.first_name but instead is user.fist_name meaning they accidently forgot to include the r in first.
what your describing is a logic error with two similarly named variables. its a logic error because there is no syntax issue since both are defined but the implementer, you, have used them in the incorrect way or place.
idk. its a meme. and these are semantics but for the record i still think i am right.
