From: utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!CAD:tektronix!tekmdp!dadla!dadla-b!hutch Newsgroups: net.flame Title: Re: "Oops" Article-I.D.: dadla-b.376 Posted: Sun Mar 13 22:34:24 1983 Received: Fri Mar 18 01:38:14 1983 References: spanky.240 Having made the original typo, and the possibly many more to be found in this article, I feel obliged to respond to Mr Kenneth Almquist's self-righteous flame about the use of text editors: First, Ken, "telepathicly" is really spelled "telepathically" which your use of a text editor did not seem to help you with. Second, Ken, By Golly, the "f" command, which I am using at this very moment, does NOT invoke a text editor, and I don't feel like using an editor, remembering the text of the article, and basically going to far more trouble than you (or the original discussion) are worth, jsut to save you from having to note that I am actually a sophisticated AI project with error-simulation. Third, Ken, who asked you anyway? I was making the simple correction to a mistake that I would make in spoken English. Even though this is not precisely spoken English, because there is no direct way for you to hear the sarcasm dripping from my voice (this is after all net.flame and I feel entitled) it is still the use of the vernacular we are dealing with here, and I outgrew letting self-important noodges correct my use of the vernacular well over 13 years ago.
