[brain.I/O] Wow. My I/O is fucked...
Nov. 10th, 2004 02:13 pmI keep mishearing, misreading, misspeaking, and mistyping. All day.
On the plus side, it's really amusing!
On the minus side, excessive amounts of mistyping and misspeaking make it much more difficult for people to figure out what I mean. Even the ones fluent in typo and misspeaking! :)
La, la, la!
(mewing mountains! Bonsai mewing mountains! And scorpions of silliness!
And no, those were not the result of my I/O being fucked. Perhaps the result of me being especially silly as the result of fucked up I/O, though.
Huh. How many times can I use the worked 'fucked' in this parenthetical? Or post, for that matter?
What a long parenthetical!)

Date: 2004-11-10 07:55 pm (UTC)I baby sat a computer cluster while I was in college and have a few such stories. It was a cluster of Macs in the English department. I had one student refused to work on a "broken" computer. I checked it out and it was "broken", according to the student, because the desktop pattern was changed.

Date: 2004-11-11 02:47 am (UTC)I was, however, also well trained, mostly by the fact that, in the US, people who swear frequently don't have much vocabulary beyond swearing.
Also because having one's mouth cleaned out with (bar, not liquid) soap leaves an impression (and yes, I'm serious).
(and what _is_ that icon?)
