might find this funny. Some time back I ran across a new term that
I had not heard before. Keep in mind that I am a blind person who
uses a screen reader on my computer. Also I keep an extensive list
of terms that I started for the students at the Piano hospital many years ago.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=4><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Now
because the voice on my computer is not trained for piano terms, it pronounced
the word, “bitcherd”. I copied the word to a file to add in to my
list later and life went on. Just yesterday, I ran across the
word, “try chord” and you guessed it, the computer voice pronounced it
“bitcherd”. Now that I had a couple of words to add in I took them
together and read them letter for letter to put them in alphabetical order.
You can imagine my surprise when I saw the spelling and realized
that I had been living in suspense for a few weeks for no reason.
