Canny review by Pete Sixsmith even if he probably overdoes the "Sunderland supporter as folk singer/ folk critic" angle.

I caught Bob with Billy Mitchell, ex Lindisfarne (thus a Newcastle fan), at the same venue about a year ago and have to say if there's a better all-rounder on the UK folk circuit than Box Fox, I want to see him.

"Box Fox" - what a grand typo!

Perhaps a kindly Mudelf ought to change it to Bob Fox though, we don't want the poor man being pummelled

I have a grand excuse too. Right hand in bandages and splint after a surgery. That said, I come up with plenty of typos withut excuses.

The lame hand (or just lame) excuse was mine. Wasn't signed in.

Typo my arse! The 'x' is nowhere near the 'b' on my keyboard.

Colin, my apologies for the abruptness of my post at #2 - Boss decided to come into my office at that point so I had to submit and scarper!.
Hope the surgery heals well.


I wanted to add that Bob is certainly in my top ten, another reason I don't want him getting a flattened snout!

I don't think a typo depends on proximity of right and wrong keys. The last word of this definition seems to fit:


- Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

typographical error
typo

    (typo) An error while inputting text via keyboard, made
    despite the fact that the user knows exactly what to type in.
    This usually results from the operator's inexperience at
    keyboarding, rushing, not paying attention, or carelessness.

But I'd still argue that reduced dexterity can lead to carelessness.

But it now says Bob.
There's a lovely photo of Bob at a folk festival in NZ a few years back. You might need to be a member to find it.
Scroll down to the third one down.
