new-word

A single text-based comic panel titled "NEW WORD DAY!" It defines a coined term, "DYSGRAPHOMOPHONE: a homophone that looks like a misspelling, commonly used on purpose to trick someone online into correcting you." Below is a list of real but obscure words that look like misspellings of common words, each with a definition: Accidence (grammar related to inflection), Androgeny (creation of an embryo with genes only from the father), Banns (a public announcement of a wedding), Brume (fog), Coign (a wedge-shaped stone used in architecture), Clew (a ball of thread), Hight (to be called or named), Indorse (to formally endorse), Redd (to tidy), Soke (a feudal right of jurisdiction), Soop (to sweep), and Wale (a stripe or ridge in fabric). It ends with an example sentence stringing them together: "Here's a clew: let's make a wale pattern scarf to show we indorse their banns, then go to their place to soop and redd, unless it's brume." The votey aftercomic adds, in parentheses, the author's aside: "(I've been collecting these for way too long. Please send more)".
