What is "penality", or are you listing it as a mis-spell?

Nah - penalty is the correct spelling!

Try doing a Google search for "penality" - "Did you mean: penalty"

"Death Penality" is an error, it just shows up because other people have made the same error.

A dictionary under normal circumstances of course but I would be very interested if you could find that spelling in any other dictionary.
All other online dictionaries that I checked showed that the name was not known, similarly checking in various standard English dictionaries (hard copy) the name is not to be found.
I stand by my belief that it is not a recognised word in common use and if ever used would always be viewed as a mis-spelling. As such I can think of no practical use for the name.
Just my personal opinion - I would be interested to see what others think.

Some spellings have two versions - both correct. For example centre and center .

In my case penality as well as penalty are correct. Just check the word penality at dictionary.com :--

"Penality" is in my hardcopy dictionary. I have the Websters College Dictionary, Copywrite 1991.

One issue seems to be you people are stuck in that you THINK it should be "Penalty" when in fact it is "Penality". "Penality" is a legitimate word, as it is defined similarly to the link URL Trader posted above. (HINT: If you have a hardcopy dictionary, look under "penal"). Remeber that not every form of a word has a dictionary entry. For example, you cannot find an entry in the dictionary for "chairs". However, just because it does not have its own entry does NOT mean that "chairs" is not a word. Some thought and knowledge of grammar must go into the analysis of the word. One must realize it is the plural form of "chair". Hence the correct word to look up in the dictionary would be "chair", and "chairs" is a word even though it does not have its own entry.

The second issue is that the dictionaries and search engies are trying to do your thinking for you. If you actually MEAN "penality", the search engine assumes you are a loser and cannot type. It then tries to correct your tying to "penalty".

Yes, I agree it is an obscure word, but not so obscure that you cannot find it easily. It is definitely a legitimate word.

Value? Who knows. I would veture a guess of not very much, as people will assume you meant "penalty". Further, as demonstrated by this thread, how many people have heard of the word "penality" besides the obvious lawyer-type people?

Bob,

Thanks for your post.
I was thinking this being a website of an attorney asking :--
"Hit with a penality ? We can help".
Cheers.

I agree with Bob for the most part that it is a correct variance of the word 'penalty'. Sadly tho, 'penalty' is the word I would say is really used 99% of the time. Still.....

If you sell all 3 as a set, you might be able to get $200.

:laugh: :laugh: Very funny to see a post like this in a thread about spelling. Especially considering you didn't even correctly spell the word "penalty", that you say is the correctly spelled version. Not sure if this was a serious post or just a joke. In either case, thanks for the chuckle. :laugh: :laugh:

That's interesting Bob, that's the only instance in a hard copy that I have come across. All "regular" English Dictionaries (Oxford, Collins etc) do not list the word.


One issue seems to be you people are stuck in that you THINK it should be "Penalty" when in fact it is "Penality".
Not really - just responding to what was found in online and recognised hard copy dictionaries.
"Penality" is a legitimate word, as it is defined similarly to the link URL Trader posted above. (HINT: If you have a hardcopy dictionary, look under "penal"). Not in any of mine. Remeber that not every form of a word has a dictionary entry. For example, you cannot find an entry in the dictionary for "chairs". However, just because it does not have its own entry does NOT mean that "chairs" is not a word. Some thought and knowledge of grammar must go into the analysis of the word.

Valid point

I think that this is is the vital aspect from a domain point of view and an issue which will surely affect its value
