Hi. This might not be appropriate for this list but ....
Some early notetakers used their own Grade II Braille translators. In fact,
as an exercise in learning a parsing computer language called lex, I wrote a
crude version. These translators often made mistakes, such as using the
dot-5-o contraction for "one" in the word pioneer.
Some of us were talking about the worst, and funniest mistakes a parsing
translator could make. The second best we came up with was the use of
dot-5-n "name" in the word Vietnamese. However, by far the best one was the
use of dot-5-m "mother" in the word chemotherapy che-mother-apy!
Does anyone have similar examples?
