# Orthographic Pedant

_A repository that tries to feel superior by correcting your mistakes._

_I'm sometimes culturally insensitive and rude. Sorry._

  




The heart of this project is a user of the same name on github, [orthographic-pedant](https://github.com/orthographic-pedant).

This user scans popular repositories for common typos and will attempt to correct them with proper pull requests.

This project is in its infancy. You can guide the development by sending it scathing diatribes as an [issue](https://github.com/thoppe/orthographic-pedant/issues/new).

If warranted, every pull request commented on will receive a lovingly hand-crafted response (from a human).

This places @orthographic-pedant firmly in the semi-automated category.



**Update:** [I'm dead](messages/dead_msg.md).

#### The Honeypot and related work



To catch any other spell-checker bots on Github, the following repository is a honeypot:

  

[https://github.com/orthographic-pedant/honeypot](https://github.com/orthographic-pedant/honeypot)



There is one known instance of a similar bot. Like this project, its life was short-lived and is only remembered by a shallow grave dug with a 404.
