I'm quite sure DEMISE is already in the dictionary. Maybe it wasn't me who added it, or like Tony suggests it might have been an acronym or something.
Knowing my typing skills, your suggestion (c near d) is probably klos 2 thy trwth. My best mis-type lately was in designing the new menus for the GD2 Launchpad. I managed to get the scaling back to front somehow. Result was a menu which vanished when resized without error. Took me days to find the typo, meantime I'd got bored with looking for it and gone to do something else. I have come to the firm conclusion that writing new QL software is infinitely easier than rewriting old software!
