Pokemon is a real word folks

I was typing up an essay-like statement of purpose and I typed the word “pokemon” (don’t ask why) and then I backspaced to change the e to an e with an accent over it, finished the word, pressed space…and……poof. Word automatically changed the word to start with a capital.


Yes, it’s true. A capital. Wow. We don’t capitalize the word “animals” but we do capitalize Pokemon. And this word is also misspelled without the accent, I’ll have you know.

Important discovery tonight.

Yes, indeed.
