Typos to Avoid, Though They Amuse Me

[gnomi]

I'm implementing edits of my formerly-huge book, as instructed by our most wonderful editor here at work. In a couple of cases, she wants me to combine two steps into one. The steps used to be:

1. Open the xxx window.
2. Click the yyy button.

She, rightly, wants it to read:

1. In the xxx window, click the yyy button.

Making sure not to lose that 'c' at the beginning of former-step 2 while combining these steps has been a challenge. I do hope that I've caught them all; saliva's not particularly good for one's computer screen.

(OK, so I'm easily amused; most of you should know that already)

Steve Jobs did describe the Aqua interface of Mac OS X as, "The first interface you want to lick!"

You're just an enabler...

Thank you for the laugh, and good luck keeping those 'c's in there. :-)
