This invention side steps the real issue. Why do we continue to tolerate mountains? Instead of making bulldozers that can be operated by one man we need larger devices that can level the mountains and fill in the lakes and seas. Once mountains have been abolished we can use the land for productive purposes.

In those days publishers relied on human proofreaders.

Today it’s automated spell-checkers, which often get things wrong. This assumes the writer and editor bother to run a spell check; in my local newspaper they often seem to think they can spell without assistance, and I spot avoidable typos. I wish “Didn’t run spell check” would cost the writer $100 per occurrence; they’d get the hint.

I though it was “removing or modifying passages considered vulgar or objectionable”, but that’s to bowdler.

But a bulldozer WOULD be good at that, I expect.

Is a bowlder just a concave version of a boulder?
