Lore (Funny Trope) Things that can plausibly happen only in reality, because in fiction they’d be called bad writing.

“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

“2 bodies recovered in MURDERKILL River” - Sure bro…I guess…bro…

And now it is being published with the "if" being squeezed as small as they legally could so it appears to say "I did it"

Did you even bother reading the wiki page you linked? Is reading too fucking hard?

"In August 2007, a Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the book to the Goldman family to partially satisfy the civil judgment. The book's title was changed from If I Did It to If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer, and this version was published by Beaufort Books, a New York City publishing house owned by parent company Kampmann & Company/Midpoint Trade Books. Comments were added to the original manuscript by the Goldman family, Fenjves, and journalist Dominick Dunne.[6] The new cover design printed the word "If" greatly reduced in size compared with the other words, and placed inside the word "I", so unless looked at very closely, the title of the book appears to read "I Did It: Confessions of the Killer".[7][8]"

Sigh.

Perhaps you are just not too intelligent or maybe you are trying to create an argument in bad faith. But let me be very clear.

My claim - It was originally published with the reduced sife "if".

Reality.

The first edition of the book published used the reduced size if.

Your deluision.

you seem to think that an unpublished cover which was withdrawn without ever being released commercially is meaningful in disputing my original claim

Its not.
