It could have been AOUTOCORRECT. Change one word and they all change the same way. There's a lot of funny auto-correct examples out there that are easy to find.

I would like to add an additional lane for persons riding Segways, hoverboards, roller blades, and in-line skates! :1rotfl:
Then we could add another lane, dug down 6 feet with a liner, fill it with water for the lap swimmers

There will be a multimodal path stripping party Tonight at the lookout point on the Morse Bridge. Wear sunglasses so you won't be recognized.

tomwed: we had to proof read newsletters being sent to employees and one of the techniques we used was to read each article backwards forcing us to see each word for spelling. It was a certainty that if just one word was misspelled we would be hearing from an employee and his/her bravado all you could do is say thank you for your important input.
