It doesn't work that way.
The other meaning of "reckoning", which you refer to, is not the one used in the expression.
There is no "reckoned", from that use. You face "a reckoning", but you are not "reckoned".
The expression is specific; A force to be reckoned with.
A force not to be reckoned with, is a force you do not need to consider.
It's a typo.
Ha ha ha ha, fucking hell.
It's a statement of literal fact.
It's not a question of "belief". I could "believe" that "Hippo" meant "moron", is doesn't make it so.

Then we must agree to disagree, my friend. Like I already said, just my humble opinion on how I read it.
You are entitled to your own interpretation. I prefer to give Philly the benefit of the doubt.

It's not "my" interpretation.
It's what the expression means.
I'm afraid that you are ignoring the literal definition, to make it to fit with your personal interpretation, which does not work with what the expression means.
I see you've got your head overinflated with that ego. Must be stopping blood flow.
Words, expressions and phrases have definitions.
If your usage does not fall within those definitions, then it's literally incorrect.
It takes years for word definitions to change & it only happens through common vernacular usage.
The phrase IS "A force to be reckoned with."
There is NO phrase, "A force not to be reckoned with."
It was obviously a mistake.
But, of course, with those English & linguistic skills, you already knew that.
Otherwise you must be a Hippo.

I love Philly, but he made a typo. Everyone does every day.
Stop making far-fetched interpretations that make no sense.

It was a typo; Philly fixed it. Vic *is* a force to be reckoned with.

Read, before opening your mouth, for the love of whichever deity you prefer.
Literally, the post above yours:
There is NO expression "A force not to be reckoned with". It does not exist, except in error.It was a typo; Philly fixed it. Vic *is* a force to be reckoned with.
You were both wrong. Get over it.

Like I said earlier, pretty sure that black device is a breathing apparatus, not her jaw like Artemis. She is suspended in a tank full of liquid after all, right?

It's not my opinion. It's the literal definition of the expression.
There is no expression "not to be reckoned with", it does not exist.
Your "opinion" was contrary to facts. It was contrary to the literal definition of the term.
Now it's proven to be contrary to what the dev meant.
Your opinion was obviously, blatantly wrong.
Get over it, you're not making yourself look good here, particularly screaming like that.
Face facts, you were wrong. Even the dev has admitted the mistake, but you're still going...
No-one has attacked you for being wrong, we've just pointed it out, with proof of why.
Deal with it like an adult, not this.

I guess it was just an accidental conflation of the expressions Not to be trifled with and to be reckoned with.

I bet Mr. Spock asked himself that too...But I don't see why people feel the need to argue that their opinion is correct, in the face of facts that prove it's not.

I wonder who is the blonde girl inside the water tank? She looks like with Gloria. Is she some kind of Gloria's clone? Is Baynard got DNA samples from Gloria and created some kind of clone version of our blondie? If so, the Baynard could want Gloria for more DNA samples? Hum!
It is Sherlock Holmes time, my friends.
This charade is becoming to make sense for me now.

I'm a little disappointed that Philly fixed it. I was looking forward to a typo turning into a duel to the death.Yeah, can definitely see how it comes about.
But I don't see why people feel the need to argue that their opinion is correct, in the face of facts that prove it's not.
The dev said it was a mistake.
So it was a mistake. End of. lol
whichone is relentless. Never give up when you know you're right.

Ignorance is presumably your default position, then.Fortunately, this site has an option to simply click "Ignore" and not have to read that shit.
Peace out, Phat
"I don't care that the dev said it was a mistake. Those facts that proved me wrong are shit. I don't want to read them."
Unreal.
