Default back and fill

I'm really glad people are able to comment on the back and fill technique...
these on-topic posts are inspiring!

Straight.
I think you meant " strait ".
I don't often point out spelling errors, but I will make an exception
for straight/strait. Strait means constricted and the garment is a
straitjacket. A strait can be crooked as cat ****.

Wow, a typo.


Um...to most of us a typo is hitting a key when we intended to hit
another
key. Adding a couple of extra letters to make a different word is not a
typo.


I disagree. A typo is when you type something other than what you
meant to type. If I type "their" when I meant to type "there", it is a
typo. Typo is the shortened form of "Typographical Error". It simply
means you didn't type what you were supposed to type.
