Many years ago, to see whether anybody was paying attention, a colleague and I slipped the made-up word “coceptualize” into a document. Nobody said a thing.
Either nobody read that part of the document, or they did and thought it was a real word.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
