I say no. People are all the time mispelling Strongbad's name, so it's hardly a new thing now. [[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]]

: For example, they'll write it as one word even though it is [[myths & legends|two words. Two different words that are not one word; that are "Strong" and "Bad".]] --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

: Also for example: you misspelled Strong Bad's name, its two words. sorry if that sounded mean, just thought I should point that out. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 00:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

: I would disagree that it sounds like Missy, I doubt that she did the voice on this one. I have a voice that is very similar to Matt's (and I do voice acting too) and wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that he did this voice too. It's much like a Jigglypuff voice. -The Shadow

::  I dont know, It did, in my opinion, sound like Missy, but I could be wrong. It's not really anything too important, but I see why you would say that.

Thusly, I say we only need to list one refrence, and I vote it be Magic.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 07:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

:I agree, Magic is likely the reference, being such a well-known card game. Not to mention similar names and design. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

"Vornado" is actually the name of two unrelated companies that well predate this e-mail.  One of them (likely the most relevant) is a manufacturer of air conditioners and fans that's been around since 1989 (actually reviving a brand name from the World War II era, according to their website: vornado.com).  The other one (which is more likely coincidence) is a real estate holding trust based out of New York.  The former, at least, could be worthy of a Real World Reference mention, seeing as how the product is related to moving air.

:I second this. [https://www.vornado.com/home Vornado] is a fairly well known manufacturer of fans. The name is quite likely a reference to it. --[[Special:Contributions/98.194.172.173|98.194.172.173]] 01:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

::Is there anything in the reference itself to tie it to the company? It doesn't seem like "there's a company also called that" is enough of a connection to say it's a reference. It seems more like a reference to how this genre of game tends to create new cool-sounding character and attack names, often by portmantizing two words related to what's being described. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:47, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

This email contains the phrase "trading cardery". If I add this to [[Kick-A-Ball]]'s statement of "vehement catapultery", I've got two. Anyone want to volunteer a third? (Maybe barber wizardry, or [[haircut|barbzerdry]]). -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 23:45, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

:Update. [[I Killed Pom Pom]] gives us a mention of Stitch Witchery, but the article says that's an actual brand name. So it's not a made-up word, but it fits the general pattern I'm trying to communicate. -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 02:05, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

::If we can come up with three appearances, I think this seems like a fine page. But only nonexistent words should be included, so your first two examples seem fine, but wizardry and witchery are real words. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 04:18, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

:::I think I've got the real third one. [[Homestar Runner Goes For the Gold|Sad Sackery]] Taylor, our twelfth [[Presidents|president]]. Does that qualify? -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 01:50, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
