"No worries, Son. I could see it all coming from the cradle.
The first three words in your babyhood vocabulary were...
'Maternal one' and 'duh'. Be sure to take your vitamins and,
tomorrow if you're able to drive, buy some chicken soup."

an appreciative old codger has already learned three valuable life
lessons from his much younger yet esteemed, self appointed mentor:
(1) Deft little backhand slaps seem to leave less negative residue
than the well intentioned but clumsy fingering of a thing to death.
(2) In the short and long run it's better to be obscene than 'obsurd'.
(3) Third valuable lesson I've somehow forgotten, since the surgery.

with the first and last correct, any message they can easily decode.
Apparently if word meanings are already welded into our vocabulary
storage, spelling conventions per se are no biggee for the brain.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWell Bobby my friend, scientists have long said that humans use about 10% of their brains, and looking over the fora here, I must concur. 😞
