I'm at my Wit's End at the patheitc inability of Wizards of the Coast to spell in Magic 2013:
Never mind, I understand. It would be hard for anyone to spell after discarding his or her hand.
Or maybe with this misspelling they're actually trying to expand on the characterization of Nicol Bolas to show us that he has a speech impediment? That must put a dint in his intimidation factor and evil overlord speechifying:
Nicol Bolas: Your patheitc ideas lie in shambles, Planeswalker. Where is your arrogant pride now? Planeswalker: [can't...stop...laughing...] ...It lies in my ability to speak properly? Nicol Bolas: Stop mocking me!!!
It's not that big of a deal. I had to go over the card 4 or 5 times to find a typo I knew existed. Someone who isn't looking for it will probably not notice it.
Grip: "Aaaand.. action!"
Nicol Bolas: "Puny human. Soon, you will understand just how pathteic your atte-"
Grip: "CUT! Cut." Jace and Nicol Bolas groan loudly and break character.
Nicol Bolas: "And what was wrong with that take, John."
John the Grip: "I am loving your energy as always, Nicki-B, but you're saying 'pathetic' weird."
Nicol Bolas: "Why is this my problem? It's what the que card guy wrote."
John the Grip: "What, are you serious? Gary! GARY!!! C'mere!"
Nicol Bolas meanders away from the set and has a coffee with Jace. They
titter and gossip between themselves at how Gary probably didn't satisfy
his English credits in high school.
It's an honest mistake... yet I'd hate to be in the editor's shoes. I hope he/she still has a job next month. I guess this is a classic case of working so hard the mind gets fried.
If any WotC employees are reading this, cut the guy/gal some slack. Let him/her keep their job.

Yeah same, I laugh at this but it'd stop being funny real quick if that happened, mistakes occur, no need to sweat it considering how great of a job these guys do generally.
I'm not sure that it should: it refers to an individual's capacity for intelligence rather than capacity for humour, which is a legitimate use of the word.
The real thing that bugs me is that I can't stop imagining that Nicol is speaking to Ajani, and his arrogant pride is just a group of lions who won't stop being irritating.
Darn it now I can't unsee it and I'm laughing my ass off at 6 in the morning!
What makes this thread more ridiculous is how anyone thinks someone would get fired for it.You really think its worth fireing someone over a misplaced letter in flavor text?Seriously people no one got fired because that put the wrong guild watermark on Hypervolt Grasp.More so no one got fire for leaving out actually needed game text on Walking Atlas and the biggest mess up was forgetting the 'until end of turn' part on Oboro Envoy.

Sphinx is really good. Control will play it and be able to protect him just fine, hes a much better finisher then Jwar Isle and thats saying a lot considering how good he alone is. Bazzar Trader.dec now has 16 threaten effects. Thats really, really, really,really good. Really good.
There was something I read, where if the first and last letters are in place, the middle letters can be jumbled up and you'll still read it the same. Still, kinda unprofessional :\

Wit's End makes me think of the death of clever word repartee and the rule of crude memes and puns as 'humor'.
Since you need to keep your wits about you, having them plucked from your brain should degenerate you into a clueless idiot.
Ahh, KONMAI QUALITY.

Maybe Wit was destroyed by Bolas and gave him humongous speech problems.
But then again, I don't think you'd be all that happy if you were locked away for ages...I mean, lock jaw and everything. LOL
One might call it a tragic slip-up.

Since this is a thread about misspellings, after all: they're cue cards, not "que" cards.
