Note that the lines of formal program text are surrounded by +%LaTeX verbatim directives. Contributed by John Cupitt, of the +%University of Kent. + +There is a group on USENET called \verb"rec.music.gaffa", dedicated to the +singer Kate Bush. A running joke in this group is to pretend fanatical +devotion to Kate And Her Works --- this reaches an extreme form in some +posters, who capitalise all the Ks and Ts in their articles in reference both +to KaTe herself and to the Knights Templar. This Miranda\footnote{Miranda is a +trademark of Research Software Ltd.} script can be used as a {\sc +Unix}\footnote{UNIX is a trademark of AT\&T in the USA and other +countries.} filter to prepare your articles for posting to \verb"gaffa". +The main function is called \verb"kate" and is at the end. + +Do some simple maps on text. We do: + +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{rcl} + c,C,k & $\rightarrow $ & K \\ + t & $\rightarrow $ & T \\ + qu,Qu & $\rightarrow $ & Kw \\ + ck & $\rightarrow $ & K \\ + ch,Ch & $\rightarrow $ & Khe +\end{tabular} +\end{center} + +We also look for Kommon words that can be easily swapped for something with +more ks and ts. + +The dictionary we use to look for common words. This is very small at the +moment! I should perhaps find a thesaurus and fix this up properly. + +\begin{verbatim} + +> kateMap +> = [(["interpose", "insert"], +> "interject"), +> (["frequent", "general", "usual", "normal"], +> "common"), +> (["program", "file"], +> "script"), +> (["name"], +> "appelation"), +> (["however"], +> "though"), +> (["serve"], +> "officiate"), +> (["intersperse"], +> "punctuate") +> ] + +\end{verbatim} + +First map.
