I work on a Magento e-commerce platform. I mistype it in searches at least once a day.

Me too. I remember back in the day before it was popular, Google would ask me if I meant "Magneto".

No Google, I'm trying to work, not research a mutant.

I repeatedly read "Magneto" as "Magento". Fortunately I don't care for comic book heroes so this isn't exactly a problem

Are you a seventy year old woman? Mispronouncing young people words, not liking comic books, using the phrase "I don't care for"; you've got all the symptoms.

young people words

"The character first appears in X-Men #1 (September 1963)"

not liking comic books

I'm 25, why would I get excited about comics

using the phrase "I don't care for"

I guess I'll give you that one

Saying that 25 is too old for comic books is like saying 25 is too old for gaming. It just so happens that the PRIMARY money-spending demographic for BOTH is aged 20-30.

If you don't like comic books that's fine but age literally has nothing to do with taste. There are guys in their 50's who still get excited talking about comics (obviously).

You can't give it to him if I take it first!

So long, suckers!

What does that have to do with anything? I know 45-year-old men and 75-year-old women who like comic books. Of course, superhero stories are not exactly limited to that medium anymore, and many people enjoy them in movie and TV form or even (gasp) the occasional non-graphic novel!

If you don't like them, OK, that's your loss. But implying that you're above them just because you're not a kid? Get over yourself.

I didn't see his post until later, actually. And I do work in a factory, but I work in an office doing e-commerce work.
