drastic concern for anagram mania

Hello my friends. Today, I want to discuss a very shocking discovery I've come across today.
As always, when I am incredibly bored on here, I turned my focus to the classic anagram mania game. It seemed like a normal game as usual. The typical cheaters with the generaters were on top within five minutes of the word being posted. Then, all of a sudden, it happened.
I read the word, which was spelled peperoni pizza. I was left in shock and confusion, for I believed full heartedly that pepperoni is supposed to be spelled with two p's. I have never been so stumped in my life. I can't get past the fact that a single letter could be missing. It just totally blows my mind.
I'm posting this for a few reasons. The first reason being that I love the zone, and I'd hate to see it go downhill because of such a silly, caraeless mistake as this. Secondly, I'm extremely bored and have nothing else to do at the moment.
Hope this is amusing.
Ryan.

while i didon't play that particular day and see the wrong spelling, i do understand..... wrong spellings of words is very unfair in the anagram games

I'll have to figure out who posted that particular anagram, and troll them endlessly for their bad spelling. Feel better, now? hahaha. :P

I wonder who could have done such a terrible thing. How disgraceful!

Hmm and in the past when I have seen misspellings on Anagram Mania I thought that was deliberate, to make the game harder by removing a letter here or there. Note that mainly the spellings are misspelled by subtraction rather than addition or substitution, so I thought they were just increasing the difficulty of the game.
I, for one, am just not that good at anagrams. Especially in light of the leaderboards I see on here.

Vary amusing! I didn't play on "peperoni pizza" day, but saw an ommition like this once before. These things may happen often, but, if the error doesn't change the pronunciation of the words, it could go unnoticed for a long time.

Ryan, very amusing.

Jess, I think I may know who put that up there, and pick on him all you want. LOL.

Leo, don't go by the leader boards. The ones at the top of that are cheaters who use anagram generators just so they can be at the top of the list every day. that doesn't count as anything, in my opinion.

Leo, ya, that's exactly it, LOL. Thanks for giving us an excuse to spell things wrong.

yes, Alicia. I'm pretty sure I know who put it up there,too, hence my saying that. :P

I am so relieved you guys see where I'm coming from. We must put a stop to it. Whoever it is that is doing their job half ass, we are watching, and you will be caught. Lol.

This is slightly off topic, but I love what they are doing with the regular anagram! Lately they have been posting lots of anagrams with many words. This one today is pretty good, but I really like the ones that have five and six letter minimums! I notice that there seem to be fewer cheaters and I like that because I have never used generators, what's the point! Anyway thanks to whoever is sending these good anagrams. LaWanda

I wondered what people would think about that. I'm glad you like it. I'm sure they won't be like that every day, but variety is key.

Hey everyone
Peperoni is spelled like the above. Unless you're talking about an ommision of a p somewhere then I don't understand.

The occasional misspelling in an anagram mania phrase keps me on my tows; lol.

Bad spellers are everywhere, even among our community leaders who put the games up.
