its what hes come to expect from WORD from aspects of his computer overall their unceasing of
course its a machine would have to pull the plug attempts to muck things up
an example
he began a sentence to
be fair he was trying to provoke WORD Imagine Tryin to provoke a machine he began a sentence
with Hazzard misspelled it
clever machine it toyed with him
WORD failed to bitch him correct or challenge his misspelling
he wondered if it assumed he was
thinking of the television series The
Dukes of Hazzard
Christ
he wouldntdidnt watch that trashdismayed
his younger brothers his little sisters who sat rapt on
the carpet in a semicircle six feet that was the rule had to sit six feet back from the television
they wondered if he was mad
hed take a book into the small room off
the livingroom and read
his parents either together one at a
time wandered past
Why aren’t you watching TV with the brothers
and sisters?
because he thought that was a stupid
question he looked up at them with cool detachment No thank you
for shits and giggles he entertained
Google
HazzardYUP
The
Dukes of Hazzard then immediatelythereafter The word “hazard”
“The English word ‘hazard’ comes from an
early French word, hasard, which itself derived from the Arabic word az-zahr,
meaning ‘the die’”.
die as in one of a pair or more of dice
had to admit that hasard was mighty
tempting
he was writing a letter to his father who was keen as he was wonder
where he learned that about catching misspellings in the
newspaper was particularly bugged if the
misspelling occurred in the opinion section whether by an opinion writer or
Letters to the Editor personal opinions similar
to todays on-line crap which far too many people gobble up as fact
But Dad . . .
Yes, son? he
was his fathers son his father never
called him by his name bugged him
Do you think the typesetter erred or do
you think the typesetter was simple precise and did not correct the misspelling After all hes not paid to be the proofreader actually he and his
father were brieflyemployed at a local paper when they were young men as
proofreaders his old man got him the
job thought it would be a kick same cat was the editor when his father
proofread
No matter. I’m calling the paper to let
them know, let them know they ought to be ashamed of themselves, abusing the
English language like that.
once upon a time his father found a
misspelling in a book and went to the trouble to find the publishers telephone
number and called and lodged a complaint
they were thorough
their wives called them anal
they were proud of their anuses
