Nobody else gives a sheet

Open letter to readers of the excellent Victorville, Ca Daily Press as well as to the entire sodftsware community:

Then there';s the missp owing to the proximity of keys. If I were a missp prog, I would have seen this immediately, would have tossed off a routine immediately 'gnizin' the probability, ultimately saving all of us billions if not trillions of hours correcting our msgs....so...why hasn't anyone else come to this obvious conclusion.....??

Am I the only typist in the entire world who sometimes hits two keys at the same time ??/ or it is really true that spel-progs are hired on the basis of an error in their hiring guide where a reference to a 'minimum IQ of 72' was typoed as '...27' ?

Fellas, no kidding, I'd really like to hear from you. Oops, sorry agai n, 'proximity' means closenesdsd,' like how close the 'a' tyo the 'd', the sdpaceb ar to the 'n.' and by the wsay, 'isd,' single most common missp of 'to.' Yolu just hafta correct that5 typo.

Oh and you soiftrwarew fellas: That's, those of you who can read: While I realize yhou've been puzzled by 'missp' for years, let me settle yhour discomfort by revealing that it';s an annr for 'misspell" or 'misspelling,' so now you can rest more easily. It means to 'spell wrong,' or to put letters in the wrong places.

Oh ans a2k mgmt: It's been 18 years now (12 ?) I been tellin'; you about the glitch where the bottom of the edit window keeps jumpin' up and down, up and down...,.,.

... up and down... so for every typo correctyion you hafta pull it bacl down....

Oh, sorry, yesd, and for the same reaswon 'annr' is the obviousd abbr for 'abbr'


...and no, I din't do it on purpose....not onced !!@
