Ever wonder why books are missing words?
There is an astounding number of books in this world. In the modern age getting books published seems a matter of relative ease, judging by the swarms of books one sees litering the bookstores, some of better value and use than others. There is a whole industry devoted to the writing, editing, publishing and sale of books. Yet even with such a degree of professionalism, books lose words.
We’ve all read a book and stumbled across a phrase that made no sense. After puzzling over it, you realize that if there was a ‘but’ or a ‘the’ in someplace or other the phrase would make perfect sense. Only a mistake of editing, right?
Wrong. The words are all there in the manuscript sent out to be printed. The words that are missing disappear somewhere between printing and the shelves. The words don’t just cease to be though. You can find all of the worlds missing words in an instruction manual in the back of an old warehouse that used to hold television sets, VCRs, and other such media devices. This instructoin manual apparently details how to build and run a Television that can be used to watch any scene on earth, as it happens.
That’s what the words want you to think. In fact, they are breeding, in preparation for a return to the days before Babel. Txt speak is an attempt to weaken the power of these lost words by emasculating them.
Alternately, it could be a further proof f the potency of the missing lettrs. If you ad up the mising letters, in say the average AOL chatroom, you could probably make a sizable novel within a few hours.
Perhaps there’s a gospel of the Invisible Clergy being written with every printed work, text mssage and apparent ‘typo’ by all those involved in the … invisible, grand and unknowable network tying all things together.
Could the Clergy live in the Internet?
Just some fod for thought.
