"Americal" instead of "American"

Sort of inversion of the maddening way locals here persist in pronouncing a terminal -l as an -n. Thus schoon, hospitan, footbon....

Tipe.

As a young programmer in the days of Fortran and punch cards, my programs were oft failed because I forgot the 'o' in 'count'.


I also have the habit of adding a 't' to 'busy'. I have sent several emails to ladies saying 'i know you are busty ...'

I used to work in the computer department for Access, the credit card people, years ago and I fondly remember those punch cards. We used to get the trainees to put the punched out bits back, colour correct and the right nuimbers in the right place. We also used to use the punched bits instead of confetti if anyone got married or fill up someone's brolly with them. Boy, we certainly knew how to have fun back in the '70's.

I don't have a problem with double capitals, I can't press the shift key quickly enough to get the first one! Luckily, I have ticked the Autocorrect box to capitalise the first letter of a new sentence.

QuoteThat statement actually hurts my head

My work here is done
