I have this problem that I was given in class, but I can\'t for the life of me figure out how to do
part (d). Could someone please do it for me if it\'s possible? If the problem is leaving out some
information, then let me know. I am having a problem finding a way to do this part with the
information given, so I will tell my teacher if this problem can\'t be answered with what is in the
problem statement. 1. During the Apollo program, the U.S. landed 12 men on the Moon and
returned them safely to Earth. It was an amazing feat and an exciting time to be an aerospace
engineer. The last Apollo mission was accomplished in December, 1972. The descent stage (DS)
separated from the command module (CM), which remained in lunar orbit with the CM pilot.
The DS carried two astronauts to a landing on the Moon. When the lunar expedition ended, the
ascent stage (AS) rendezvoused with the CM for the return trip to Earth. Here\'s your chance to
analyze the AS trajectory using actual values. 5.322 ft/sec (acceleration due to gravity on the

Autocorrect is almost as old as personal computers. Even some of the earliest word processors
had a spellcheck feature that suggested alternative words if a word you typed did not appear in
its internal dictionary. Certainly, today, autocorrect has come a long way since the Cupertino
effect. What’s the Cupertino effect? Well, in its early days, word processors would replace the
word “cooperation” with “Cupertino” (the city in Northern California where Apple and other
computercompanies are headquartered). This spelling suggestion made its way to many
documents published by the United Nations, NATO, and other official bodies, so the Cupertino
In the beginning autocorrect was primarily a smart spellchecker. If you typed “bfeore,” it
replaced it with “before.” Then in 2007, Microsoft int.

2. replaced it with “before.” Then in 2007, Microsoft introduced the “contextual speller” (also
known as Grammar Checker) for Office, and squiggly green lines began appearing in our Word
Docs. Those green lines signified a problem between words not with just one word. So, if the
verb of your sentence was not correctly conjugated for the subject, it would suggest a
replacement. As in, “I leaves the office at 5” would be corrected to say “I leave the office at 5.”
It could also correct words that were next to each other. For example, if you typed “shew ent,” it
replaced it with “she went.” (If you have questions about autocorrect in Microsoft Word, learn
more here.)
Google Docs has taken a slightly different approach. In addition to offering spellcheck
suggestions, it allows you to customize autocorrect, so that you can program abbreviations that
you use often. You can instruct it to always replace NY with “New York” for example.
In the past two years smart phones have transformed (and some would say mangled) the English
language with their autocorrect suggestions. They now suggest and automatically replace words
as you type them. As you may have experienced, this can lead to some very serious
miscommunication. (You can find numerous examples at the blog, Damn You, Autocorrect.)
Smart phone autocorrect works a little differently than the traditional tools in a word processor.
Because smart phone keyboards are so tiny and close together, autocorrect suggests alternative
words that contain letters near the letters in the misspelled word. This means the range of error is
much larger than with traditional autocorrect which is relying primarily on a dictionary and
grammatical algorithms, rather than on letter proximity. Maybe this all means that we should
read our e-mails and text messages ourselves before hitting send.
How do you technically describe what autocorrect does? Metathesis is the changing of one letter
or sound for another letter or sound. Anatypsis is the insertion of a vowel in the middle of a
word, more broadly calledepenthesis. A paragoge is an addition of a sound at the end of a word,
rather than the middle. So if you make an embarrassing autocorrect error, maybe using these
terms to describe what happened will help you save face.
