Wow that's a lot of times for a typo tag

This was one of them, if you can believe it. I fixed it already, but the sandals are the whole point of the image, like how do you not even bother checking your spelling? smh.

I think the tag autocompletion is partially to blame, if you start spelling something wrong and it tells you "sandles" has 40 results already you'll probably believe that's the correct tag. I still believe it does more good than harm though.

I agree, and I recall some examples, such as where the first or second letter is commonly misspelled, where it can be particularly confusing. That being said, you have to type a whole five letters in this case before the correct spelling doesn’t show up on the list of suggestions anymore, which makes this particular typo tag particularly funny to me.
