Controversy of the Day

    There seems some concern by my hyper-literate, Berkeley grad son and his beautiful lady-friend about the spelling of this blog...

    Let me explain

  1. Everyone who knows me knows I can't type well. An injury in an 8th grade wood shop class earned me both a shortened right index finger and a “C” in the course. Which allowed me to drop typing and to add chorus... definitely contributing towards making me gay as we learned to sing a few show tunes and musical hits.

  2. Everyone who knows me knows that I can't spell well at all, now I don't spell well in 3 languages – MS Word and Open Office have helped me with this.

  3. Everyone who knows me knows that my reading vision needs an upgrade (new glasses headed to me in 7-10 days), and also wonder why on earth a near sighted, lasiked dude uses a small min-computer to blog with (ans. I find the lugging around of ton laptops very unsightly.

So there are some reasons, but after a great deal of market based research that took over 14 minutes, I decided upon REVOKED as Baha'is had revoked my administrative privileges and I was hoping mad. Mostly because, I wanted to celebrate my amazing talent to put my foot in my mouth with my inability to spell well.

Besides revolked, revocked seemed dumb, and well TheBahaisreallypissme off.blogspot seemed silly, tho it pretty much summed up my feeligns at the time. Rovoked was born, and few really great people snet their love, energy and disapointments...

So I revoked, just to be safe, and went to the defintion revoked - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and found, that my spelling actually was quite fine, thank you very much.
