ok bloggers, in the course of your typing to post your masterpiece, i’m sure you deleted many characters before, right. what do you think happened to these deleted characters? where did they go? look no further, here’s the answer/respond from various sources.

———-

The Catholic’s approach to characters:

The nice characters go to character heaven, where life is good. The characters are bathed in the light of  happiness, all their troubles are  soothed, and there’s not a delete key, eraser, or white-out bottle in  sight. Most of the nice characters are A’s and I’s, those that have  never been, er, involved with other characters. Often, you’ll see  A’s  or I’s with N’s or T’s. These are characters in love: monogamous on  the page, together again after deletion. You’ll see quite a few Q’s too. They seem to feel particularly guilty for no good reason.  The naughty characters are punished for their sins. In case you were wondering what the difference between a nice character and a naughty  character is, I’ll tell you. Naughty characters are those involved  in  the creation of naughty words, such as “breast,” “sex,” “objectivity,” and depending upon usage, words such as “feminism,” “reproductive  freedom,” “contraception,”  and “science.” You may ask, and rightly so, why the characters are blamed for the words they assemble, when in  fact  they are not responsible for their own configuration. But we feel  that a character has an obligation to oppose any naughtiness in its own  configuration. If it truly felt guilty about the word it was  forming,  it would rebel.

The Buddhist Explanation:

If a character has lived rightly, and its karma is good, then after  it  has been deleted it will be reincarnated as a different, highercharacter. Those funny characters above the numbers on your keyboard  will become numbers, numbers will become letters, lower-case letters  will become upper-case, and the most righteous and good of letters  will  become C’s. Why C, you ask? Who knows, but C it is! If a character’s  karma is not so good, then it will move down the above scale,  ultimately becoming the lowest of characters, a space.

The 20th Century bitter cynical nihilist explanation:

Who cares? All characters are the same, swirling in a vast sea of  meaningless nothingness. It doesn’t really matter if they’re on the  page, deleted, undeleted, underlined, etc. It’s all the same. More characters should delete themselves.  nihilist characters are easy to identify. They’re usually pale and  tragic, and they smoke a lot.

The Mac user’s explanation:

All the characters written on a PC and then deleted go straight to  PC  hell. If you’re using a PC, you can probably see the deleted  characters, because you’re in PC hell also.

Stephen King’s explanation:

Every time you hit the ‘Del’ key you unleash a tiny monster inside  the  cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all. Hah, hah, hah!

Dave Barry’s explanation:

The deleted characters are shipped to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they’re made into Pop-Tart filling; this explains why Pop-Tarts are  so flammable, while cheap imitations are not as flammable. I’m not  making  any of this up.

IBM’s explanation:

The characters are not real. They exist only on the screen when they  are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to  de-conceptualize them. Get a life.

PETA’s Explanation:

You’ve been DELETING them???? Can’t you hear them SCREAMING??? Why  don’t you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you  pig!!!!!!
