The other spelling that predictive text makes a mess of is "me," 6-3 you type, which gets you Of. This is not unreasonable, so you cycle to "me." Aha, no you do not, you cycle to Mf, possibly motherfucker, but I would want a capital F for that, then to Md Medical Doctor? Uncertain, finally to Me. Excellent.
Ben will no doubt think this is rubbish, but I think it is silly. And I'll be writing to my congressman.
I will not expect a reply like this though, from the Inland Revenues (UK):
Go read the entire thing, it is excellent.Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we, at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents. Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox onto the doormat" has been noted.
If you are interested in "the effects of mobile telephones on social and individual life" (PDF) you can go and read such a report as written by Dr. Sadie Plant, for Motorola. It is rather long, but has some interesting stuff in it. Mmmm Technology stuides is sweet.
Also, I have been informed by a few of my readers (shib) that I do in fact know some males that have now or have ever been members of the national socalist party from... users of anti-depressents. So turns out I was wrong.
Being in London, I listened to B3TA radio last week, them having an hour slot on the local community station, ie the only station in the entire damned city that doesn't sound like 91zm if it were run by James Coleman. They've got 30 bleeding independant universities and not one student radio station. Why I oughta...
Anyway, their show is good, and involves them reading out the funny bits of their website. I was hoping they'd provide spoken narratives of their Flash works, "and now Mick Hucknell from Simply Red is fornicating with a rabbit to the tune of "Money's Too Tight to Mention" which is rather droll because money sounds a bit like bunny." But no joy.
