Found a funny typo

[horse14t]

Pretty sure that's suppose to be "little"

Pretty sure that is intentional? Although there are other typos in Zoopedia for instance.

Likkle isn't even a word though :/

Sure it's not, but it is intentional to make it sound cute like ppl do irl

It's not likkle, it's ikkle, which is common in the British English lexicon (or used to be). It's used a lot in Harry Potter.

The screenshot says likkle though. Seems like a typo of ikkle unless it's an intentional mashup of "ikkle" and "little", which would be weird but eh

This isn't a typo, it's "Cute speak". Its when you talk in a cute and silly way to something like a puppy or a small child.

Wouldn't "wittle" be better then? I've never, ever heard someone say little in "cute speak" in such a way that the Ts are replaced with Ks :/

"Ikkle, likkle, wikkle, wittle, itty, bitty, teeny, weeny, smol" there's quite a few options for cute speak. The challenge is to use them without your friends disowning you.

I mean no offence, but it still seems like a typo. Given that k and l are literally a keystroke away from eachother, it seems a bit disingenuous to say that something like that is intentional.

Not only that but it messes with my Dyslexia.
It's hard to explain but my eyes are instantly drawn to that word and my brain can't help but go into "error" mode and my brain tries to "correct" it and it's really annoying.
That and as far as I see, there's no other examples of this.

If you replaced 'k' with 'l' you'd get "Lille" which makes even less sense in context so you're the one being disingenuous.

Apparently most people understand the context and what it means, so I'm not sure why you and horse14t can't just accept it for what it is.

Thanks for correcting me. It'll help remind me not to use the forums with a groggy mind.

There are more serious text related issues with the game, I don't see why likkle is such a problem when it is actually intentional. But I respect the dyslexia comment.
