Strange and unusual typos

Posted by David Hardy · 26 September 2017 09:19 PM

This story concerns the Alabama GOP primary, which pitted Roy Moore against Luther Strange. Somehow the story manages to use, in place of "Strange," words such as "odd" and "unusual."

"Trump has been outspokenly supportive of odd since before the August primary ..."

"Top establishment Republicans were looking to spin a possible odd loss away ..."

"...said he had been undecided in the race but was swayed to vote for unusual...."

That's amusing. Layers of editorial oversight.

What you are seeing are idiots with an online thesaurus. If you don't know ALL the words and their proper substitutes then you don't belong using a thesaurus to insert different words to make things "sound" better, to eliminate repetition. Online help for grammar, language, and what have you has made the people weaker than even the piss poor educational system we have.

An online thesaurus may have been involved, but the only human idiot was the human who set up that website in order to make money from page-views illicitly earned. Every article is not quite ripped from a wire-service -- it is first run through either a series of translations to different languages and back or run through a synonym-substitution program in order to "fool" automated praigarism/copyright-violation detection.
