The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Old Fezziwig]

I do remember when I worked as a technical writer, an intern who was trying to get hired pulled her writing sample off the printer and handed it directly to the senior technical writer. He pointed that out as a bad sign. But, it's true, seems nobody checks anything eny more: not prose, not code, not game design....

Oh no!

I do sometimes feel like I'm living in the Bill O'Reilly ET meltdown — "naughty word it, we'll do it live!"

In this age of auto-"correct" and virtual (that is, highly error-prone) keyboards, I still find it amazing how many people hit "Post" without even once reviewing what they have typed to see if it's even words.

Hey, just because they're not actual words in your home dimension...

Oh no!

Indeed! I forgot to lean in close to the screen and squint while proofreading.

I have fixed it now. That's also a thing I do.

I think I'm close to needing to do that. Or I might need to get a larger monitor. I've certainly noticed that I can't read with my glasses on anymore.

The day they added an edit button to MS Teams was a banner day. I wrote my congresswoman to ask for it to be a national holiday. I have typos that I made in e-mails years ago that still annoy me.

Yup, time for me to stroll out of that thread.

What a typically formulaic comment.

If you would join me in this verse of chant:

Pĥ'nglui Mgw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgah'nagl Fhtagn!

I still have the album with that song on it; great stuff.
