“I dunno, but I get a spooky feeling about this one.”
“Relax, Roy. It’s not like correcting somebody is a big deal.”
“Yeah, what about Frank disappearing in this neighborhood last week?”
“Hey, we just have to do our job.” Charlie rang the doorbell of the old three-story home.
When a man answered, Charlie gave the standard spiel. “Sir, we are here from the Department of Language Correction to notify you of your current infractions.” With that, he handed the man a list.
Glancing over the list, the fellow called back over his shoulder, “Helen, you misspelled disemboweled again this week.”
enjoyed the twist – good work
I enjoyed this story. I am amused at the whole idea of the government sending people out to correct language.
Vert amusing. My mind is racing, thinking about the contexts in which Helen might have used that word.
Great way to begin my day by reading this short piece! Thanks, Ron
Funny story. Have you noticed the government is already correcting our use of pronouns.
Very clever!
