Disco. Tech.
I'm not trying to spell the nightclub for dancing. (That's discotheque, by the way.) I'm naming two things that are dead. Disco died July 12, 1979. Tech died March 22, 2018.
I'm no soothsayer, but I am certain taking down Texas A&M will be impossible. Why? Purdue plays Texas Tech tonight.

You're Out!
Strike one: If you’re going to spell the wrong, do what the rest of us do and type teh. Don’t commit mayhem by committing to three successive letters in the bowels of mayhem.
Strike two: An s should be beside the point — and that’s important. This writer’s point is not well taken.
Strike three: I’m unable to vouch for voach, which can’t hack it as a coach. Take a seat, voach, on a couch or in a coach. I’m casting coach. I don’t want to see a v where a c should be, or cive versa. Er, vice versa.
