verrassen

RfD-sense. Dutch, misspelling of verassen. This seems to have been created based on the misguided idea that, because verassen is a common misspelling of verrassen, therefore verrassen must be a common misspelling of verassen as well. But as far as I can tell verrassen is hardly ever attested as a misspelling. Delete. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 14:30, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Delete – although the form is attestable as a misspelling, it is not a common one. Similar attestable but rare misspellings are verrademing and verrandering. (Bonus fact: the last source shows, on the page linked to and the next one, that caps lock had already been invented in the 19th century.)  --Lambiam 09:36, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Ha ha, nice. It also shows the tendency of sloppier spelling when one goes for all-caps (O ONUITSPREKELYKE VALSCH[h]EID). ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 12:46, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
