BUGDETS I’m reading budgets these

BUGDETS

I’m reading budgets these days.  Here’s what I’ve learned: the following typos are strongly recommended if you have a boring document that you’d like to turn into a comedy blockbuster:

“Discountenances” for discontinuances ("the discountenances in payments created financial straits")
“Commiserate” for commensurate ("each was charged his commiserate share")
“Bared” for barred ("he was bared from further relief")

Come on guys, you’re lawyers.  Is this what you turn in at court?  Or, should I say, at curt?
