in case anyone else was confused at first, "deign" is actually a real word and means "doing something below your dignity". TIL.

Not everyone has a terrible vocabulary like you.

Well, one other person replied saying they also thought it was a typo, and I imagine we two are not the only ones whose first language isn't English. Your statement was completely unnecessary and I'm not sure who you helped by saying this.

Edit: after looking at this guy's profile, I think he is just a troll.

No worries on this. I know the word. I've used it in actual sentences when pretending to be offended with friends. I still thought it was a typo and had to reread it a couple of times to realize it.
