If Art Linkletter were still around, he could develop a new franchise around the bizarre malaprops generated by speech recognition software. (Okay, so it might be a really low-rated franchise.)

The errors that come through, though, can be startlingly revealing.
Stachybotrus is a form of mold that has come to some level of fame in recent years, as it has formed the centerpiece of high profile litigation over mold found in homes. It's the gross, black stuff that you find after water has gotten into your house. According to my computer, Stachybotrus is "sticky boxers."
I can't say that's entirely wrong.
But, eew.
