Forgive me for being an inveterate speller and maybe even a bit of
|
|
a Felix Ungar (the fussy Odd Couple guy), but when you wrote,
|
|
"hoard of cheap servers" isn't it "horde" of cheap servers? Isn't
|
|
"hoard" when you stash away a supply of things in case there is a
|
|
shortage? As in toilet paper or coffee?

Sorry, can't help it,

You are absolutely correct. I meant "horde" not "hoard."

I don't get much editing between my responses to questions
|
|
(often stream of consciousness under sleep deprivation
|
|
circumstances) and the final HTML cut that y'all see.

|
|
Over the years I've noticed that a large number of my typos
|
|
result in properly spelled words which are homonyms of the
|
|
intended term. I suspect that I have a couple of layers of
|
|
mental processing that work on different levels as I type.
|
|
When I see typos I fix them into some properly spelled word
|
|
--- which sometimes is not the word I intended. Thus
|
|
my mistakes of this sort are due to carelessness rather than
|
|
ignorance. (Not that I'm not ignorant --- just that this
|
|
particular error isn't a result of that).

|
|
Of course I do know sysadmins to keep a hoard of computers
|
|
(hidden in a storage closet or stashed in a corner of the
|
|
server room) which they use to service and replenish their
|
|
horde of production systems. But that's not what I'd meant
|
|
in the article you were reading.
