    Yeah, this seems to me like talk to text. Punctuation usually shit, and orifice office is just an accent problem.

      Autocorrect, I’d assume. “Office” doesn’t sound much like “orifice,” but it would be easy to swipe-type it the wrong way.

      But either way, yeah.

        Bergen County, NJ, likes to put Rs in where they don’t belong, and orifice is absolutely a way I’ve heard people say office. And swiping an article is odd to me, but I’ve written zero articles so I don’t know.

          I am also not a journalist, but if you’re filing articles from the field, it could make a lot of sense that you might just do it on your phone from a gaudy bathroom in the White House or something rather than needing to pull out a laptop somewhere. Back in the 70s, reporters on location would call their stories in and have them typed; this could be a pretty good modern analogue, maybe?
