I post stuff like that , more so now because of spell check....

It changes from something right to some5ing wrong.

.... but I learned a new word last week:

“Pentation.... when a coworker “wanted” to write “penetration”....

Pentation

The first three values of the expression x[5]2. The value of 3[5]2 is about 7.626 × 1012; values for higher x are much too large to appear on the graph.
In mathematics, pentation is the next hyperoperation after tetration but before hexation. It is defined as iterated (repeated) tetration, just as tetration is iterated exponentiation.[1] It is a binary operation defined with two numbers a and b, where a is tetrated to itself b times. For instance, using hyperoperation notation for pentation and tetration,

{\displaystyle 2[5]3} means tetrating 2 to itself 3 times, or

“The Chinese would love to lose 100,000,000 people out of their own country.”

They might like to dump all the old folks - and this virus might do that for them - because their one child policy left them without enough working age people to support their useless eaters. However, this virus seems to be able to kill people of any age and has taken out some of the still useful ones. If this was a weapon directed against their own people, the Chinese seriously miscalculated and when the Chinese find out there won’t be a CCP much longer after that.

I’m gonna stick with lab malfunction. Even if this was intended as a bioweapon, they didn’t intend to release it where and when it got loose.

The left is taking this right from Teddy’s playbook. Remember four days into the Iraq war we were in a quagmire?
