TORONTO – While working late into the evening on an overdue philosophy essay using Microsoft Word, university student Michael Stefanescu’s hyphen failed to become a dash.
“Letter, space, hyphen, space, letter, space,” said a sleep deprived Stefanescu. “I know the combination like the back of my bong.” After slamming his hand against his table and pulling at his hair, he added, “What the fuck is this shit?”
The freshman recalled similarly frustrating incidents in which his spacebar entered “fucking demolition mode” and when a “phantasmal force” made French accents appear “all over the fucking place.”
After spending 35-minutes creating an image of a hyphen in Photoshop and attempting to properly paste it into his word program without success, a series of random key presses allegedly remedied Michael’s problem shortly after he had submitted his paper.
