What's funny is, misspelt is actually always shown as an alternative to misspelled in dictionaries. Seeing as spelt and spelled are alternatives for past tense, it makes sense that mispelled and misspelt would both be actual words. Check out a few dictionary sites if you don't believe me (dictionary.com for one). Anyways, according to the oldest records, both lambda and lamda are wrong, but that doesn't matter; officially it's recognized via 'lambda' in our language. - Satan |

I assume this is from Lambda, the Greek letter. Is this a spelling mistake, or done on purpose? The item has no text in game so it is hard to say.--Muhandes 08:46, 21 October 2008 (MST)
OK, they fixed it, now it's called lambda token. Do I need to create a new page or can this one be renamed? Do I need to go over all the pages where "lamda" is mentioned and fix them, or is there a way to replace them all at once?--Muhandes 13:25, 23 October 2008 (MST)
Thanks for moving the page, I didn't know how to do that. I went ahead and changed all the references since there weren't so many.--Muhandes 00:26, 24 October 2008 (MST)
