I think the intent was ¨uncrewed¨. In otherwords an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle. UUV.

It was indeed. But when I saw it, I first thought it was in reference to a new mode of propulsion, which excited me, but needless to say I was disappointed.
Conjugal images were an impossibility; still, I thought it was good for a laugh in the Pub.

Ah, but it worried me enough to cause me to consult the oracle
When I queried Google, it suggested ´uncrewed´. Itch scratched.

I got a spam email this morning with the title:
An Urgent Appeal for freedom from our CEO
I figured it was from a group with an evil CEO, but it was a message from the CEO of some organization appealing on behalf of Afghans (the people, not the bed coverings).

I'm strictly a cat person (well, Guinea pigs, too), definitely not the dogs.

Okay, here's one with the headline, "
Prison break: Insane inmate escapes".
Only it's not breaking news, but a compilation of supposedly remarkable (insane) breakouts (escapes) in the past. Talk about clickbait ...

Not quite on topic, but it's certainly wrong - infuriatingly wrong!
Headline in The Daily Digest
"Liz Truss joins list of shortest serving heads of state in modern history."

A mundane repair and probably just scotched, demonstrative of the level of ability to be expected from political leaders nowadays.

Well I don't get why the obviously wrong thing is infuriating. It's just wrong. The other thing that might be wrong I am happy with.
So I had intended not to comment.
