John, your post brings to mind an article I once read about single letter typos. It may have been in Scientific Armenian some decades ago. An example from the article was ‘I love your daughter’ instead of ‘I love your laughter’, and the trouble that could ensue from such a miss-print. A possessive father might think such laughter warrant slaughter. You see how it goes. Slightly off-topic is second guessing what the current POTUS might mean when he utters anything at all. Verbal typos, as it were. We think we know he meant ‘Australian’ when he recently commented on ‘Austrian’ troops in Iraq, and we think we know he meant ‘APEC’ when he spoke of ‘OPEC’ at the same venue. And this leads me to wonder if his advisers and staff have to continuousloy second-guess the meaning of anything he says or any instructions he gives them, and what the consequence of getting it wrong might be. An example: ‘Lynch them assholes’ or ‘Launch the missiles’ springs to mind. A nutter failure to communicate.
