gollark: There's no red underline either.
gollark: ```You try to write the name, but several characters disappear as you write, so you decide to try something else.The name you tried to use contains invalid characters. Names can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, apostrophes, and dashes.-XTypedHoles```What?!
gollark: I would automate it, but TJ09.
