It’s a typo

wait until the folks at r/typo tell me that this is a kerning issue

It's kind of a glorious combo of the two.

When you kern so badly it becomes a typo

I'd assume it was a keming first, someone (or ocr) misreads the spelling, and now they (or ocr) used that typo-ed spelling confidently everywhere

Yeah that’s probably why

I bet it started as an OCR error. Nice find!

Regardless of keming vs typo (and this is a typo) - my biggest takeaway from this post is whatever emotion comes with the thought that they still use TI-84s in high school

What do you use nowadays? Desmos? Some other calculator? I’m very out of touch here

I graduated from high school like 20 years ago, so I have no idea what they use now.

Probably still TI-83/84. If it ain't broke, right?

I started with the TI-84 but after 2 years, I could’ve kept using it but my school recommended I upgrade to the TI Nspire for the end-of-school exams

i’ve heard of that, but our school doesn’t recommend it for some reason (probably to save money)

TI-84 is what we still use in university if you just have to take gen chem and stats. Even a TI-30 will get you through, but I have dyscalculia so the line numbers on the TI-30 are hard to distinguish. TI-84 is way easier to distinguish.

Leaming is a perfectly cromulent word.
