A few months ago a friend, well better, a person I met on the web mentioned a software program that was really exciting to him. He thought it was the greatest thing on earth. The software would create brand spanking new content out of pre-existing content or short stories, word swapper software.

He went on to explain that all you had to do was set up the software to swap out words for their synonyms, you see in the fields of the software you’re able to create word exchanges, this for that, money for cash and so on.

I really didn’t give it much thought at the time, and actually forgot about, until
this morning.

When I write a story, it’s not unusually for me to create a Google alert for the title,
I get a kick out of seeing where my work pops up, blogs, web sites and such.
Believe it or not sometimes I’m actually trying to get my stuff out there.

This morning I was treated to the handy work of the word swapper software, a butcher program at best. An alert popped into my e-mail, so I opened it, through the mist of a fresh cup of Joe, and not enough sleep, I began to read what used to be my story.

At first I couldn’t believe the spelling mistakes, had I really missed so many,
How could that be? Was my spell check off? I don’t even know that word.

And, then it dawned on me, I thought about the software, realizing I was seeing it first hand, I cringed.

Well, contrary too my web friend, it does a poor job, leaving an otherwise smart and light read, something more like a train wreck. Words didn’t fit well, entire sentences were twisted, sending-off completely different connotations, the message was ruined.

It made me think of a note I received when submitting a story the other day, (do too automated software submissions we are longer accepting stories)-what?

No wonder the internet is full of so much junk, when you take good material and try to extract multiply altered copies, something is lost in the translation-the human, computers are good, but real writers are better.


If you don’t have anything to say, for heavens sakes don’t copy-swap others.

P.S My commercial interest is water damage.
