I transcribe and sometimes the writing is abismal and you have to make an informed guess. In this instance, the transciber hasnt used any imaginination at all; I'm tempted to wonder where this transcriber came from. Rule of thumb is "type what you see"..............he/she couldn't have seen 'Smily Hate' as christian names. |
