Ooooooooh. You mean neckless → necklace!

For the record? That was NOT self explanatory.

No, I knew necklace was a thing, but I thought that was already Aliased to Jewelry. So I just went straight to the point. - So yes, it IS self-explanatory. (So is spelling "self-explanatory correctly.)

necklace implies jewelry, but it's not aliased to it. That's why the alias of necklessnecklace makes sense (plus, a surprising number of users seem unable to spell this word).

However, "neckless" can also be used to describe a character with no visible neck. I propose an alias of necklessneckless_(disambiguation), which will point to either necklace or short_neck. It's easy to clean up and it encourages bad spellers to go back and fix the error.

It does make sense to alias it if there wasn't a singular tag for "necklace". - Because it's a type of jewelry.

Don't tell me how to alias.

Right ... but there is a tag for necklace. It's been used on more than 15,000 posts over the past 9 years.

Well how should I known, never used it in a searched, never was there when all of those 15,000+ posts were uploaded.

You forgot the word "not". - And you succeeded!

Yeah..I know.

The only way I could think of to sound like a dick was to lie.
(Hilarious!)

Why bother lying?

Correctable typo only tagged four times in the history of e621, by two different people, one of them being yourself.

If this bothers you so much and you already know its proper spelling, correct it yourself.

Of course! Don't mention the part about me correcting it after.

Couldn't find another way to make joke and be dick, that's why.
