Why not let computers make the jokes for us? Here are a few gems I got from the internal spellcheck, posting my resume online:
Vendors/Products: Meditech = mediate Corepoint = corposant Neotool = Motorola Cisco = Crisco Nortel = Nortek CLARiiON = clarion CallPilot = calliope Other Miscellany: nt-based = teased teleradiology = tolerability PACS-related = pastureland DICOM = disco DLT = dolt superuser = superset

Twice I've had people e-mail me that they were sorry for the incontinence.

Meditech and mediate should never be in the same sentence since those two words have completely opposite meanings. Meditech and the words forced, hacked, and kludged should be. |

Edit: Forgot one thing! You'll need "submerged" access to a completely unrelated module. And no, "ALL" access doesn't include this.

you don't need computers to mess your words up, just the aforementioned dumb boxes and bags. We received a letter yesterday from an insurance company which refered to the need to "identify" and make a "phenomenal settlement" (i.e., indemnify or make a nominal settlement).
Cut-rate secretaries don't cut it.
