However there is a typo - it's actually spelled Whoa, not Woah. The Scratch Team should fix this, because using the incorrect spelling of a word looks unprofessional and just bad.

Dunno, it seems like a pretty small thing to me…

Actually it's interchangeable.

According to Grammarly, Wiktionary, it's a misspelling

It's not a big deal, but I don't think it should be too hard to fix either

It goes both ways

I've always spelled it “Woah”

I don't know it's not, a big deal:

And like other people are saying I use Woah.
I don't think it makes it look unprofessional. I'd understand if say your was used instead of you're.

The “typo” doesn't change the meaning of the sentence at all, so no support from me, sorry

Although I use ‘whoa’ nowadays, I've seen ‘woah’ enough to know that it's a legitimate spelling.

(Yes, Grammarly. I will fight you.)

I use “whoa” a lot more frequently nowadays, but of course, “woah” can be used interchangeably in most cases. However, it's more of an expression of what the word sounds like more-or-less, and is not to be used in instances where you'd like to appear more professional. “Whoa” is the correct spelling, while “woah” is a misspelling.

I say change it. Having a simple mistake like that on the site just isn't reasonable, and it can be fixed quite easily.

I would change it as well.

Yeah, some people like me say “Woah” instead of “whoa”.
Honestly, I don't really mind it and it doesn't look unprofessional to me.

I thought it was interchangeable, but I guess it isn't.
I use woah a lot, and I don't find this typo too bad of a problem.

But still, a lot of people use “Woah.” I think I've seen more comments with “Woah” instead of “Whoa”.
And besides, a word that has two correct spellings should be interchangeable, and I don't think this “typo” should really be changed, I believe you might be the first person to complain.

Whoa, I never really noticed that it was incorrectly spelled, I was always taught/told it was spelt ‘Woah’, pretty strange.
But I don't think it matters, but hey I guess change it for the heck of it?

must.. not.. make… Crash… Bandicoot…. joke


Anyway, I don't really see a problem with this,

Thanks for pointing out that mistake. I'm surprised I missed that

I understand it is an easy mistake to make but issues like this need to be fixed. Whilst 1 grammar mistake is not too big of a deal, over time these grammar mistakes add up that lead to an unprofessional website. Finally, it is very easy to do.

Based on this, I think this is not really a problem; saying “woah” is acceptable for Scratch, I would think, since it's not meant to be a completely formal website.

Whoa is the much older spelling and is the one considered standard. Woah is a newer, alternate spelling that is often considered to be nonstandard or informal. The two terms are used to mean the same things, but woah is more likely to be found in informal contexts, such as in memes.
