The memes about Susan Dell are prolific and creative. Looking at her photos I can't help but think there may be illness, possibly mental. She is obviously emaciated and had bad plastic surgery. So the memes are in bad taste? No If one is standing behind trump in the oval, then one is fair game.

Not high. Just the coffee hadn't kicked it yet. Character count. Blue sky sees a space as a character. And with character limitations per post, one must be frugal. Ok, off to my second cuppa.

Oh, but think of the adventure of it all. Imagine: a novel with no punctuation could have different meaning each time you read it.

Err, wow. I took typing on cheap manuals back in '75. Of course all the keys were marked so each student was required to bring a handkerchief to class and tie it over the keys. Then slip your hands underneath to learn touch typing. It was the modern teaching method back then.

Aha! We can blame it on the frats at school. Always knew frats were not good for one's constitution.

M dash is a whole other animal! The anti-plagerism software that professors now use sees the M dash as the mark of The Beast: AI. One mustn't M dash least ye submission be ejected to the dung heap of history.

That little bit of code is so objectionable here in the Sky. In my laziness I use it to conjur the period but it carries the weight of an extra space which I often go back and delete to minimize character count.

And the IBM Selectric was a subversive proto-AI harbinger.
