It's just as much a blunder as someone spelling it as "tegnology" in English.CognitiveDissident5 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 5:03 pmThey really fucked up. That's pretty embarrassing.

If as you say it's that far off, then they just adopted an English form of the word. (imo)

Re: Argentina's Ministry of "Tegnology"
Maybe I wasn't clear. The word in Spanish is "tecnología". They spelled it as "tegnología" because they don't know how to spell it. To put this error in perspective, imagine someone spelled "technology" as "tegnology" and you'll see how stupid it was.kestrel9 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 9:52 pmFWIW I looked up the word in an online dictionarySkeptic5001 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 9:33 pmIt's just as much a blunder as someone spelling it as "tegnology" in English.CognitiveDissident5 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 5:03 pm
