The Green Study will be returning on June 1st, 2015.

canstockphoto15476528After severely spraining one wrist and slightly spraining the other while hauling large bags of garden soil, weeding and tilling, typing has become a rather painful enterprise. Mentally, I need to recharge. Physically, my body needs to go into the shop for a complete overhaul and some after-market upgrades.

With that in mind, I’m taking time off to rest and yell at my computer while training the speech recognition software. I love workarounds and learning how to work differently. Adaptability is a good skill to hone. However, my speech recognition software does not feel the shame same. Some serious housebreaking is in odor order.

I wish you a lovely continuation of spring and if bizarre, error-laden comments show up on your blogs, blame it on my software not understanding when I say shit “Shift”.

    1. Thanks – I will. So far I’m having to correct more than it’s getting right, but it takes awhile to learn the speaker’s speech patterns.

  8. This is why I have a crush on Google Translate and the transcriptions of our voicemail to email: new universes open up every time the computers have their way with our words!!!

    Swift healing to you!

    1. yes but beware of handing over your soul-felt blogs/writings to Google Translate! A few weeks ago the Italian Prime Minister’s speech on toughening up sentences for corruption & lengthening the prescription period for the Statute of Limitations was software translated and read “….penis enlarged & doubled prescription….” @matteorenzi_eng
      When in doubt, contact a professional:)

      1. Absolutely right, Bea! While I love those programs for entertainment I would never, ever trust them with my thoughts for any genuine communication, least of all one for publication!!! 😀 Still laughing over your example! (And kind of wondering whether the program thought it was supposed to comment on a *statue’s* limitations! 😉

  9. How can I top Ross? I can’t. My feebler punny bone pictured you at a SportsMart (it should have been a Tom Hanks film paraphernalia auction, but I didn’t think of that) purchasing a special volleyball:

    Get Wilson, Michelle.
