word completion

17 Nov 2009

what does one do when one’s word-processing program starts autocorrecting each instance of the word “mother” to “motherfucker”? should one fix the program first and then worry about the implications or wash ones mouth out (or is it fingertips in this instance?) with Lava soap, pop a Xanex and take a nice little nap?

    It depends on your OS.
    Apple: yes, you are wicked and evil. However, any action you take in response depends soley on whether you are accurately represented in your essential nature as a filthy wench.
    Linux: No value judgments. You own the source code, you make the call.
    Windows: garblefonk slemp frazzle! Fothermucker? Wait I need to download a vulgarity patch, reboot, and update my registry. Nothing windows does has any bearing on reality, ethics, or content control. But if they suggest muthafuka, well, who’d know better than them?

    Rather than fuss over it, allow yourself to explore whether repeat useage of the word decreases the likelihood of your need for a more costly form of therapy – and I suspect that it will!!

    Definitely not the latter. Maybe the former, except for the part where you worry about the implications. But then, we must consider that I have a very foul mouth and am in no way sorry or ashamed by it. So there’s that. :)
