Sabre or Sable?

Sabre is the company in Office which buys Dundler Mufflin

Thanks for the context, not sure why people downvoting you.

Because it's "Sable" not "Sabre" (That's why I downvoted.)

I regret my typo, which remains.

it's always morally correct to downvote anyone who makes a typo, is that your position?

This typo is especially confusing because Sabre is a different, well-known, often-discussed, company that holds lots of patents around airline scheduling.

Downvoting (and the consequent CSS dimming) is one way to deprioritize a conversation-derailing comment. Even if the derailment was an accident. No personal antipathy is necessarily required or implied.

No…not all typos are the same.

The nature of typo (messing up the name of the patent troll) is what made the reply very important.
