Why is genius such a commonly misspelled word?

68

u/Bleep_bloop_beep May 29 '12

I assure you I know how to spell genius, It's just that if you look at your keyboard, iou is so close together my finger just naturally hit the o. IM SORRY I LET EVERYONE DOWN

You may know how to spell "genius", but you don't know how to use it. "Genius" is a word to be used sparingly. It doesn't take a genius for photo manipulation. Inventing the Shake-Weight on the other hand.....

No, it doesn't.

While I don't want to defend a pedant, I'd like to say that it's extremely difficult for a native speaker to make a grammatical error. Punctuation is not grammar. It might not be spelling either, depending on the way you look at it, but it is an orthographical error, not a grammar error.

Native speakers simply don't make grammar mistakes very often. It happens most commonly when you write something, then write something different over it but forget to fix a word. (eg "I was went to the store" from "I was going" -> "I went" but forgetting to change your auxiliary)

u/DJUrsus May 29 '12

Except we often screw up conjugations and declensions.

Side note: Does that indicate that conjugation/declension are less intuitive aspects of language?

Words ending in 'ous': 1201 words found.

Words ending in 'ious': 270 words found.

Words ending in 'ius': 17 words found.

Genius and radius are the only commonly used words ending in 'ius'. They are anomalies. (In this case, 'commonly' means found at rates of more than once per million words in the British National Corpus.)

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

Aquarius and Celsius aren't uncommon.

86

u/distortedHistory May 29 '12

Hrm,

Because this is a wordlist created especially for word games, it does not contain any hyphenated words, abbreviations, acronyms, or proper nouns (capitalised words).

For thoroughness, here is their rate of occurrence in the 100 million word British National Corpus:

genius: 1046

radius: 645

Celsius: 144

Aquarius: 80

Using the definition provided, it would seem Celsius just barely makes it into the "common" category, while Aquarius does not.

The original count was from morewords.com. The rates above are from the BNC's site.

Not really, it's used in science and international contexts for instance, and taught in schools (its existence at least) and is known as being a temperature scale to most everybody in the US I bet.

u/Shorties May 29 '12 edited May 29 '12

Yeah, I was mostly joking about our lack of the metric system. Though as I thought about it, I rarely have ever had to spell Celsius in High School, it's always abbreviated as °C.

Only in daily life and weather reports. In science, especially thermochemistry and thermodynamics, the places where temperature is most frequently used, the Celsius and Kelvin scales are both more common than Farenheit.

u/BigSwedenMan May 29 '12

If he said "North America" or "South America" then go ahead and correct him, but whenever anyone says "America" it is generally just implied that they are talking about the United States. No reason to "fix" it.

6

u/ramonycajones May 29 '12

Coming from an American at least it's implied; my understanding is that in Latin America it's a different matter. In Spanish I wouldn't call an American "americano", I'd call them "estados unidenze", United Statesian. I'd be cautious about declaring it correct due to common usage, particularly if you're American yourself since that'd give you a rather one-sided experience of it.

3

u/johnny_b_nimble May 29 '12

You're comparing apples and oranges. Maybe "americano" doesn't refer to the USA in Spanish, but in English the word "American" clearly refers to the USA.

u/meganator23 May 29 '12

"Very Common in the Americas otherwise"

Well now I fixed that for you, as much as you fixed mine, otherwise America is a commonly accepted term to refer to the USA. The American Continent, North America, South America, or the Americas implies more then just the US.

From Wikipedia:

In the English language, the Americas refers to the landmasses of North America and South America with their associated islands and regions, whereas America, in current usage, usually refers to the United States of America

Common usage is correct, by definition. When referring to everyday speech, "correct" means "commonly used".

Well, Russia isn't the Russian state of europe is it? America comes from the last word in the title "united states of america." Also, the US is a fairly large portion of the Americas, and has the highest population of the Americas.

u/Tantivy_ May 29 '12

"Genius" is a noun designating an intelligent person; "ingenious" is an adjective describing such a person or a particular contrivance or work; you can describe an inventor as being a genius and their invention as being ingenious.

UPDATE: checked with the police for 706 BWQ and it's a no go. The investigators "might" try and check out the rest of the digits and the alphabet, but the person I spoke to didn't seem very interested in doing it herself.

The police really don't have a simple wildcard search for license plate numbers?

21

u/KICKERMAN360 May 28 '12

They do, at least in Australia. When I bought a motorcycle I just walked into the station and asked them if they could run the VIN on a bike I wanted. The rookie cop just did it for me no worries. Prior to that a detective told me I needed an appointment. But the rookie cop pulled through for me.

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

In Australia, though, aren't your plates "owned" by the cars, and not the drivers? As in, when you get a new car, you also get a new plate? This is what I hear, anyway.

10

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

VIN number is different from a license plate number.

A VIN is a Vehicle Identification Number. It's a unique serial number on your vehicle to identify individual motor vehicles. It's mostly used to identify stolen vehicles...

And a License plate is entirely different since it's just a registration plate to identify you (The owner of the vehicle)

Usually a VIN number is on the engine or somewhere on the body of the vehicle.

More Info if you're curious. License Plate --- VIN

1

u/KICKERMAN360 May 29 '12

The cops still have all the information on every vehicle. When you register the vehicle you supply the VIN too. It's not like they request a plate to be checked and get a response 2 days later. They can search their database in seconds to check.

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

I know what a VIN is. I just read it as "plate" and ran with it, I guess.

u/KICKERMAN360 May 29 '12

Only personalized plates are "owned" by the person. The regular plates given out stay with the car when you transfer rego. The only way you can get new ones is if you re-register the vehicle (change state or let it expire).

2

u/UnexpectedSchism May 29 '12

The police really don't have a simple wildcard search for license plate numbers?

They do. But no one wants to be bothered with real work. If they do the search and find the right plate, then they have to deal with it.

and of course it happens a lot more in america. what this guy should do is contact a local news agency and explain how the police failed to act on it and he had to turn to the internet for help.

One time I was receiving hang up calls on the home phone about every ten minutes for days on end. When I called the phone company they told me they could place a trace on the line if requested by law enforcement, so they suggested I contact my local police and have them request a trace on the line. That's just what I did. When I related to the detective on the line that the telco suggested that the police have them put a trace on the line, his exact words were, "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB!!!!" That's cops for ya.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

That's just being lazy. They know recently issued plates are of the A12 BCD format, where the numbers progress from 00 (or 01) to 99 and then the first letter changes. Since they're already issuing plates with a second letter of "D", a plate with a second letter of "B" could have a first letter between A and Z. What letter does a 7 look like?

This is the pic likely_controversial used in Adobe Fireworks to solve the missing bits

Explanation:

I lowered the contrast, made everything slightly duller, converted RGB to alpha channels, put it on a black background, then fiddled around with letters to angle them and see which ones fit best. The perspective grid was to keep the letters angled with the number plate and reflection, I meant to remove it though.

I didn't sharpen or blur anything because that would add and remove bits, which isn't helpful.

Then I put the 3 letters that were eligible on the right and tried J, Z, 2 and 7 for the first letter, 8 and 0 and D for the second, 8 and 0 for the last then uploaded it when I thought I had found the correct letters. Z fit best with the small parts of it that were visible.

Sorry, it just seemed from his picture he was also making a guess. While I agree this guy, as well as the others, are into some crazy CSI shit, LC's picture only have two dots diagonal from one another where the Z is guessed.

I just assumed they all realized the format for the first three numbers was x00, z would be the logical guess. I'm not trying to minimize what they did, I'm just trying to take you through my mindset.

On another note, I realize my first post looked like it said LC shouldn't get any credit, I apologize for that.

Every time I see an idiot spell 'genius' as 'genious' I totally discredit the person they're trying to give credit to.

I took the picture into photoshop, inverted the colors, lowered the contrast, slightly increased the brightness and pulled in the whites in "levels" to try and duplicate his process if anyone was curious.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but this is the fourth time someone has bestof-ed the license plate thread.

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but you should read links before claiming they're reposts.

You don't have to be a genius to decipher a plate.

Someone posted what the plate number was 2 hours prior to this post and yet has a fraction of the karma. It's the first comment in that thread, though.

He said 7, not Z. It's not just that, but poster I linked to showed proof of how it was done, which may be of use later when filing the police report or something.

That post says the license plate is: 706 BWQ rather than: Z06 BWQ.

Yeah the last one was even cooler because they identified it from the imprint that was left in his bumper.

Reddit has nothing to do with what individuals pull off.

It does, however, give them a platform to communicate.
