    Haha…

    Imagine Commodore 64 users denouncing a useful computing system for calling its own core a kernel instead of a kernal. (Or vice-versa.)

      Realistic C-64 users: “It’s a misspelling in an early Commodore document that just carried over.”

      Rabid C-64 users: “It’s not a word, it’s an ACRONYM!”

      Me: I didn’t even realize it was wrong or knew it was a thing, then or now. TIL I think I saw “kernel” in my mind.
