Yesterday, I was distracted when typing and I typed the word "use" when I meant "huge". Maybe it's just a common mistake when distracted? It doesn't make sense, how can you even state a past tense of term? Perhaps there are just a lot of errors. Yesterday, I was distracted when typing and I typed the word “use” when I meant “huge”.

I see more examples of this lately and it makes me shake my head in sadness at the seemingly bottomless well of idiocy from which our species gulps so gluttonously. I have to wonder if, in the near future, all homophones will devolve and dissolve into single words to cover a multitude of meanings depending on context. Then we'll all just write "thru" to mean "through," as well as "threw." Another example of the ineptitude or laziness of those who throw words together, as opposed to writing or crafting sentences.

In 1986, Congress drafted major tax legislation using the term, "look-thru." As part of technical corrections a year or two later, it corrected its mistake and inserted, "look-through." As a result, we all sleep better even though the consequence was the same....
