To Call A Typo... A Typo

QUESTION: Everyone ever involved with typography must be incensed, mad as heck, rolling in their graves whenever some twit (not tweet nor tweeter) who cannot type properly (or simply cannot spell things right) invokes the word "typo" to signify that a MISTAKE has been cast in writ... Surely...?

ANSWER: Surely indeed.
But since it is an archaic artform and since most people do not give a damn about practically anything anymore - there will be mostly rolling in the graves and, maybe, some ghostly bumps in sheer exasperation... And that is it.

Pale Horse Riding Palin

Nothing more heart-wrenching than to witness this kind of thing, perhaps: the struggle to get the facts right as one such as Sarah Palin languishes, pains to find a way to retell events that she obviously has never given a flying fig about! Watch:



Paul Revere's famous Midnight Ride, warning the colonists with lanterns (rather than noisy bells, as Palin thinks for some unfathomable reason) that the British were coming...

It was a MIDNIGHT RIDE, Sarah - MID-NIGHT! That is a vital clue! It was in the middle of the NIGHT, when there is no surrounding noise at all! If bells had been used, it would have been waaaaaay too much; LANTERNS were the judicious choice (and, maybe, a few shots in the air too; not too many though) for anyone still awake (and those were long sleepless nights, back then, aye! LOTS of them too, for the languishing was most severe in those days AS WELL! But that is another story -and lesson- from history!) and there would be -therefore- plenty of them colonists awake to see the lanterns and understand that SOMETHING WAS AMISS...!

Thank God they were not as sleepy-headed (or bubble-headed) back then as Sarah Palin can be today, obviously!

I mean... MY SWEET GOD... Sarah makes all of these look like brainiacs:

Despite all that, she obviously fits right in, in the White House, with its track record of the past ten years or so (make that fifteen years) - so let *our* languishing begin or simply go on, for our political leaders are the way they are and as such take the I.F. (the inept factor) to a whole new level indeed...
