What’s the deal here? Do we need to defend Gaudere’s honor? Or was this coined earlier, in which case why didn’t anyone know about it at the time?
Your post appears to be a prime example of the law, because it makes no sense, and I really don’t know what you’re asking.
I will hazard a guess - you’re asking if Gaudere’s Law precedes Murphy’s Law? Absolutely not, Murphy’s Law has been around for decades at least. In the thread you linked, someone else mentioned it:
I’d say Gaudere’s law is a subset of Murphy’s Law, pertaining specifically to language nitpicks.
Read closer. Murphy != Muphry.
ETA: Crap, it was a Muphry’s post, because I didn’t include the wiki link!
ETA: Wow, and I messed up the grammar in the OP while editing. This was awesome.
Wait, the coding screwed up for some reason. I’m so confused right now. To restate, I just want to know the history of Muphry’s Law, which is not to be confused with Murphy’s Law.
changed to () in my quote, so someone can help me figure out where I screwed up the coding.
You included a leading quote mark in the URL which you didn’t end, which hid the link. I just assumed “Muphry’s law” was your typo.
I propose we coin some kind of name for this phenomenon.
When you try to ask a question about Guadere’s Law and Muphry’s Law at the same time, the effects of each combine resulting in typos, grammatical errors, and broken URL’s.
bolding. Chalk up another Guadere typo. This thread just keeps getting better! 
Gaudere. :eek:
woosh?
There is only one solution now: Gaudere needs to change their username to Muphry, and we will just forget this conversation ever happened.
Surely you mean “Woosh?”
That isn’t an example of Murphy’s Law at all.
Gaudere’s law is better, as Muphry’s law can so easily be just a typo.
They’re both a special case of Finagle’s law, anyhow.
Yes it is. “Anything that can go wrong, will”. The intention was to ask a question in a clear manner - but the OP went wrong by screwing up the code, which meant the question made no sense.
Gaudere used to be mentioned there. Check the history.
No it isn’t. It’s an example of Muphry’s Law!
So what is it when you misspell a criticism about another poster being a grammar Nazi? Gophrere’s Law?
How do you search the history? If someone doesn’t mention it in their reason for editing, do you just have to click through each one?
