What Coding Starvation Does to You

[jeff_duntemann]

I haven't done any programming in so long I'm starting to hallucinate. Here is today's hallucination. Lor' help me, I would have written the whole thing if I hadn't already read somewhere that counting syllables in arbitrary words is hard.

Open Dictionary text file; Create new output text file;

WHILE NOT EOF(Dictionary) DO
BEGIN
REPEAT
Readln(Dictionary,WordEntry)
UNTIL WordIsNoun(WordEntry);
ParseOutWord(WordEntry,WordItself);
If CountSyllables(WordItself) = 1 THEN
BEGIN
Capitalize(WordItself);
Writeln(OutputFile, WordItself+'y Mc'+
WordItself+'face')
END
END;

Close dictionary file;
Close output file;
