<u>Statement of Facts</u>
Today I'm at my desk drafting a motion for summary judgment. This where you try to win your lawsuit without a trial, because there is no real issue and a trial would be a big waste. So I'm using a motion from a similar case I had, tweaking it to fit the current case. The earlier case was against some guy, but the new case is against a corporation. So I have to change every "his" to "its". I do "replace all" in MS word and make 38 replacements. I keep working and I come across the word "t_ts" in my brief in support. How did that get there? Hey, there it is again! Then it dawns on me. In addition to changing "his" to "its", the program went ahead and changed every "this" to "t_ts" just for fun. Glad I caught that before sending to the judge for approval.

<u>Conclusion</u>
Proofread important stuff before submitting to court or Bill Gates might screw you.
