My father is a vicar for the Church of England, and he gets me to do his typing for him, since he can’t. He pays me though, and that’s okay.
So he gets me to write out a service after I am finished my other work. I, being tired and irritable, am quite interested in getting it finished in time for sleep, and so forget to spell check it, and just give it straight to him.
Oops.
There are now about 100 prayer sheets out there reading various variations of;
‘We trust in you, O Jedus.’
:thud:
Needless to say, a lot of very old, very conservative church-goers were very pissed at us.:too bad;

That’s when I’d show him how you type now and his head would explode.

Think of it this way: at least it was just s->d. At least you didn’t change the “e” to a “u”, when you say it aloud, that would cause a whole lot more problems.
That is why you use the mailmerge function, and let it handle names. Just make sure you have written them right in the database, and it will be the last time you experience this.
Humans are faulty. That is why we leave all the important stuff to robots.
That is one of the most depressing things that I have ever read. I sure hope they don’t get up in arms about it or something, and try to make it seem like you were defaming the church or anything.

In order:
Yup, is despressing indeed. People seem to get riled at anything.
Nah. If they even tried to lift their arms they’d probably shatter.
And according to some I regularly defame the church anyway. Being the son of a priest and a communist does not help in that regard.
