Notice that it not only makes up words, but seems to have a distinct tendency to replace letters with others adjacent on the keyboard. For instance, "find" becomes "fijd", almost as if the right index finger slipped a little. What amazing software he uses, that creates typos *just like a real typist*, instead of doing sound-alike errors. Hmm. Could it be that he's just lying? A lie to cover his inability to respond coherently, and another (bigger) lie to cover that, and more lies after that to bind them all together? All my posts are made through my own hands, so typos are due to sloppy typing, not incredibly bad software.

Sloppy typing is just lazy, but bad grammar is reprehensible. The penitent apologizes for his lapse and strives to improve.
