TYPOCORRECT (TCORRECT) command or something

A command that sends an OOC message to all in the same room correcting a typo, so people don't have to broadcast them over chat. Keep it limited to a single word.

Usage: TCORRECT <word>

Example:

Code: Select all

You say, "I sure love dinkin."
>tcorrect drinkin
[OOC-TYPO Bryce: *drinkin]
Of course, if you're in a room with only one other person, I'd think a simple TELL would do.

I can see this being useful for certain situations where a typo is so bad that it completely changes the meaning of a sentence, such as the case of Bryce loving "dinkin'", but I wouldn't want to see it overused for every single typo. I feel like most typos are easy enough to figure out what the original intent was, and bringing up a minor typo OOCly to correct it can be very immersion-breaking.

I still like the idea and I think I'll add it, but I'd like to put in a notice in the command help for it that it is best to only use for major typos.
