Neither. Long-lasting deliberate idiosyncrasy, based on Shakespearean English. What word is sufficiently Levenshtein-close to “sith” as to get there from a typo whilst also fitting grammatically into the sentence?
Ah, I was reading it like “if” or “when”, even if I couldn’t quite see how that typo would actually happen. I actually was confused enough that I asked GPT-4 “is this a typo and if so what is it supposed to be?”, and it never even crossed my mind that it was not a typo once I started thinking about Star Wars sith. Especially since it seemed to be for a relatively basic audience.
I want to make a clever sith pun but I don’t have one so I’m just pointing out the typo.
What did you think the right word would be?
(It’s deliberate. Synonym of “because”.)
Is this actually a random lapse into Shakespearean English or just a typo?

“since”?(distance 3)
I guess that would be a pretty big coincidence lol
