This market resolves as YES if, at least once before November 6, 2024, I accidentally type "vore" instead of "vote." Otherwise, this market resolves as NO on November 7, 2024.

I make a lot of election markets, I like talking about politics with my friends, and I'm terminally online and spend a lot of time at my computer. Will this lead to me inevitably making the most cursed typo of all time* between now and the day after Election Day 2024? My phone's autocorrect might save me, but I don't have autocorrect on my computer.

I won't bet on this market.

Look what you made me do

@JosephNoonan Oh god, what have I done?

What if you type the word "vote", but your phone autocorrects it to "vore"?

@JosephNoonan Hopefully unlikely, given that the ratio of me typing "vote" versus "vore" has gotta be at least 25:1 (I'm also pretty sure my phone doesn't have "vore" in its dictionary.)

If it does happen, and I don't correct it before sending the message/posting the market/etc., this still resolves YES.

@evergreenemily Funnily enough, when I was typing the above comment, my phone autocorrected "vore" to "vote", and I had to go back and fix it, which is probably the much more likely scenario than the other way around.

Inspired by me entering "vote" into Google Images to find a banner for the previous market I made, and realizing with horror that the R and T keys are right next to each other, and then realizing with more horror that a simple slip of the finger could have led to me taking immense amounts of psychic damage.
