“Wheelchair dude” features in Apple’s Thesaurus

March 11th, 2008 · No Comments

“Wheelchair dude” in ThesaurusWhat do you enjoy doing on a Sunday afternoon? Looking up random synonyms on your Mac? No? Well, me neither. But someone out there in this crazy world evidently does, and one day stumbled upon a rather peculiar one. For those of you - like me - with an Apple Mac, open up your Thesaurus widget, and type in “observe”. Check out that example of the verb in use! It goes like this:

“I observed this wheelchair dude in the vestibule waiting for me”

Um, what? Hahaha, I honestly can’t help laughing at that. Where did that little gem of a narrative come from? What was the ‘wheelchair dude’ doing in the vestibule? Where is said vestibule located? What the hell is a vestibule anyway? Ooh, maybe I should use my thesaurus!

Oh, wait…
