The source was newspaper and magazine articles, circa late 1980's early 90's, scanned for reading on Palm Pilots - PQA? We fixed them with sed, awk, etc

Squarks that's about 30 years ago!

Yes, see...that's GOTTA be it, right? Scanned documents. I cannot get this woman to admit it, but the bizarre part is, that result--the I and the a--that's GOTTA be the end result of a series of unsuccessful regexes, is my thinking. (And yeah, brother, that's how long ago that was, indeed!)

Spoiler:
The editor who worked with this woman WARNED me about her.
Right? But I figured, a simple layout, not the same thing as arguing with an editor...ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! WHEN WILL I LEARN????

Hmmmmm...not me. We built our first desktop in the early 80's. Wow. That feels like ages ago. Hell, that's because it WAS ages ago!
