Re: "catagolue"
AFAICT it's an intentional misspelling - it's switched so it has the letters "GOL" in it -- for "Game of Life".tommyaweosme wrote: March 23rd, 2024, 6:28 pm it says catagolue instead of catalogue. glad to be the first one to point out this typo.

Re: "Catagolue"
Catagolue is an intentional amalgam of "catalogue" and GoL (Game of Life), not a typo. See the wiki page for more info.

Re: "catagolue"
... Heh, you're a long way from being the first. It's a rather subtle in-joke that often just escapes people's notice for a long time, just like a lot of people can read right past badly jumbled word centers as long as the first and last letters are correct.tommyaweosme wrote: March 23rd, 2024, 6:28 pm it says catagolue instead of catalogue. glad to be the first one to point out this typo.
The "catagolue" spelling has even been mistaken for a temporary April Fool's alteration.
