re: #20 Slumbering Behemoth

I’ve had a love/hate (but mostly “hate”) relationship with spellcheckers ever since I sent off a critical business document addressed to a “Brain”. Brian did not appreciate it in the least. He was quite angry in fact.

My father once spellchecked a business letter.

The original phrase was “we cannot run the building like a warehouse in Modesto”.

My father, who is not a great speller, thought about the music store, and wrote “a wherehouse in Modesto”.

The printed document, which was, THANK GOD, scanned quickly by his secretary, read “a whorehouse in Modesto”.
