Thought of a terrible punning headlines for the previous post, but it didn’t actually make any sense. So I canned it. But I wish I did have a piece to justify the headline:

These bots are made for walking

because I really like it. I guess that’s what Unsupported Headlines was made for.

Similar to Matt’s excellent new word, lifted from the mind-warping Doors experience … Possidifficulty.

I made up a new word, walking around Amsterdam, spotting a couple of ill-judged apostrophes in vernacular signage. I’m susceptible to the badly-timed apostrophe myself, so feel well justified in announcing a name for this class of grammatical error, to be henceforth known as the Prepostrophe.

    I do believe I’ll vic your headline. Yoik!
