Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 10, 2012

Microsoft crystal.

So much for cutting-edge 11th-Century technology!

Considering the plaque that built up in my teapot thanks to the local hot water, that might not be such bad advice if Id has a similar problem.

(local HARD water, that is)

hi, mom. and yes, it’s still my cup of tea to floss

…andf I’m allways forgetting to floss my tea pot.

Your teapot will thank you.

This is just a tempest in a teapot (or is that just a lot of plaque)?

I can relate to the autocorrect.

DYAC= Damn You Auto Crystal (ball)

And them that CAN ‘divine’ do, and them that can’t follow all kinds of rules about it…

I notice Billy Gates can’t spell worth a damn…but I guess it’s useful for those who were paying attention elsewhere…likely still are, habits are powerful and bad spellers are telling us other things about themselves…

DYAC is one of the places I go when I need a good ROFL. Even though I know you can, please don’t turn off auto correct. I need a good laugh now and then.

I don’t like to shut off autocorrect altogether, because I use it for short cuts. E.g., I can enter two hyphens in a row and it’ll convert that to an M-dash. I don’t have to remember the keyboard numbers that does that the right way.

And I thought a cat reaching out and touching someone via fax machine was bad!
