    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?
