The story

This website started as an internal joke in the LANCo committee. Where M. van Dijke makes spelling errors — and since his last name closely resembles a Dutch dictionary — the idea spawned to write the errors down and make a coherent database out of them.

Since the initial idea the database has been extended with more spelling errors from the LANCo committee. Additions are welcome: hit the red +, fill in the form, and the slip is immortalised.

Originally served at vandyke.thor.edu. Rebuilt with Go, SQLite and HTMX — every historical entry carried over, timestamps and all.
