Subject: [duxuser] Grievous but funny errors made by Grade II Braille
translators
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?
