Am I blind or is there no letter i?

[–] Lightdm@feddit.de 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is a "y" in "my" so maybe "Sphinx" would complete the sentence?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Correct. That commenter just confused sphinx with sphynx.

Honestly I can understand why

I spelt 'sphynx' (sphinx) wrong, it's saved that way in my phone for some reason and I wasn't paying attention.

Edit: Ah, yep just saw that comment with the cats. It's because of cats.

Ha. I have this saved in my phone (with the "Sphinx" spelling), too. I guess waiting for this.moment?
