    Sigh. Yet no helpful hints for s-t-r-i-k-e-t-h-r-u
    (Yeah, that’s the dorm student version: squint and play along, class).

    I’m just trying to get in the Comments club. Please Consumerist comment moderator, can I join? I’ve tried, but so far, none of my comments have been posted.

    How do you strike characters? Like say something and then put a line through it for irony’s sake?

    • Trai_Dep says:

      @sleze69: Yup. Strikethru is the Snarky-Cat’s best friend. For a demo, ask Michael Belisle.

        @Trai_Dep: YES. He is the ONLY one I’ve seen use it. We must learn the secret.

      • Trai_Dep says:

        @MercuryPDX: We either need to seduce him into bed, slip him roofies or bribe his cat over to our side by waving packets of Perfect Oatmeal in front of her whiskered face until she turns into our Spy-Cat.
        I think the last option is the most viable, considering the relative amorality of the species. And the broad availability of Perfect Oatmeal.

    I was gonna tell the commenter that the word is “disemboweled” (in that Wiccan article), but thought, I wanna see if anyone else says something.
