I get some rippers of Telstra text messages sometimes, when they convert someones "missed call" message, to text.

I don't know what Telstra uses for voice recognition, but they sure didn't run any Aussie accents through it.

That result is what happened to me first time I crashed a spitfire during a dogfight in vr goggles, I grabbed the chair and screamed. It was extremely realistic, brained forgot to register it was make believe. The more realistic the images  the harder to distinguish how to react..

Oddly, I find nothing slightly wrong with that. It is just the humorous result of a mis-hearing.

 

 

Oh, shite! I wasn't thinking when I used hearing and miss considering the ethnicity of the people involved. I really do apologise if anyone takes offence.

"unmarried woman," 1896, from bachelor with French ending -ette. Replaced earlier bachelor-girl (1888). The word appears to have been formed in English; Old French had bachelette "young girl" (15c.)

I don't see the point of calling them "spinsters" either.  Apparently the etymology of that one is "woman who spins".

 

I assume they're talking about turning wool into yarn, rather than the lady rotating rapidly *, but in either case I've never met anyone who does that.

 

* oh - I just remembered - some of those strippers go quite fast around that pole.  Might have met one or two of those in my younger days.
