mighty fine trivia by James Callan
Kids these days aren’t learning much D’Nealian, Getty-Dubay, Spencerian, or Palmer Method. They’re all methods of teaching of what subject that’s disappearing from school curricula?
That question, again: In the movie version of The Shining, Jack Nicholson goes after his family (and Scatman Crothers) with an axe. But not in the book. What piece of sporting equipment is his weapon of choice in the Stephen King novel?
TODAY’S QUESTION:
When uninformed spellcheckers take an uncommon but perfectly spelled word and replace it with a word in their dictionary, that’s known as the Cupertino effect.
Example: Spellcheckers unfamiliar with Obama would suggest Osama as a replacement. Hitting “replace all” without looking could accidentally make you look like a McCain supporter. Whoops.
Question: The Cupertino effect got its name a couple of years ago when spellcheckers would suggest replacing what word with “Cupertino”?
