Overheard in the Office...
Bobbi is proofreading a post...
RX: "Darn stupid dyslexia. It's getting where I can't tell a 'p' from a 'q' from a 'b' from a 'd'. I turned a rabid dog into one that was merely quick."
My dyslexia tends to manifest less in the "mixing up letters/numbers" (although I'm horrific at math, and my spelling leaves a lot to be desired...my "Backspace" key has an indention worn in it from being hit so often) and more in the other, less observable symptoms. I've had my typing gems before, but yeah, that one takes the cake!
Coulda been worse, a rapid bog! If you think a *regular* flood is bad...

I like the pub version over the typesetter version.
To get Roberta even more confused, the Polish word for "god" is "bog".
Captcha word: "cesspit 850" - Yes, it can be.
See, that's what happens when you send all your Pb downrange...
ReplyDeleteI'd tell Bobbi about the errant "nightclup" in her post, but I'm deathly afraid of sounding like a bedant.
