I peed a little!
It's twenty oneth street!
More seriously, that is the sort of absurdity that happens when you get ignoramuses in positions of power.

Can I line up 1,000 pooftahs for you to examine their assholes?
That is a great , though very under appreciated talent. I was production manager at a newspaper during the early years of spell check, It was pulling eye teeth to explain to upper management that spellcheck would never be able to replace proofreaders..
@anglophone What does it pay?
@anglophone, @glennlab I've noticed more grammatical errors in the past five years than ever before. In fact before spell check I rarely noticed spelling and grammar errors. Seems like AI which drives the spell check and auto correct is no where near perfection.
@glennlab I am merciless whenever any document crosses my desk for assessment. My experience as a teacher of English Language kicks in, and heaven help any author who imagines incorrectly that he or she has done an adequate job.
@Mickey It pays 3,000 typos per hour. (And yes, I sometimes have a very warped sense of humour. Or should that be cents of humour or scents of humour?)

Posted by CliffordCookDonald Trump is so Bible, when he heard it would be easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to go to heaven, he just had a gigantic needle built to ride his camel ...
