Leave a comment

These words are:

  • Amazing
  • Huge
  • Unbelievable

If his application is approved by USPTO, anyone who uses those any of the three words could be sued under the U.S. patent law, under Title 35 of the U.S. Code.

Sarah Palin Wants ‘Hyphen’ Eliminated From Computer Keyboards

imageWASILLA, Alaska (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today broke her silence over the BlackLivesMatter protests that led to the killing of five police officers in Dallas, Texas this week.

Taking to her Facebook page, Palin says the Black Lives Matter movement is a “farce” and said Americans who hyphenate their racial backgrounds — such as African-Americans and Asian-Americans — “further divide our nation.”

The former vice presidential candidate urged computer manfacturers in the U.S. to eliminate the hyphen from all keyboards as way to unite the country. “If there are no hyphens, then we won’t be seeing any racial divides,” she noted.

Brexit Fallout: Oxford Dictionaries To Drop The Vowels ‘E’ And ‘U’

Leave a comment

imageLONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – The massive fallout from the U.K.’s Brexit vote to leave the European Union (EU) continues unabated.  Financial stocks have fallen. Racial tensions escalate. European unity is in peril.

Now, even the English language must change.

Today, Oxford University Press announced that it will soon release an updated edition of its English Dictionaries that will basically eliminate the vowels ‘E’ and ‘U,’ leaving only three: ‘A,’ ‘I’ and ‘O.’

“Since the U.K. decided to leave the EU, we don’t see any further need for those two vowels,” an Oxford Press announcement said. image

The Adobo Chronicles learned from reliable sources that the dropped vowels in each word entry in the dictionaries will be automatically replaced with the asterisk (*).

Henceforth, our datelines emanating from the United Kingdom will appear as ” *nit*d Kingdom.”
