Speech software finds missing ‘a’ in astronaut’s famous quote
What do you do with something that changes history as you personally experienced it? I remember hearing the live broadcast in which Neil Armstrong said,
That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Now I’m told, “nope, he didn’t say that.” Instead he said,
That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
This is a pretty dramatic change. Honestly I favor the original words that we’ve all heard and read for these almost 40 years. But I suppose that rather than maintaining history as it really happened we’ll rewrite to reflect how we ‘should have’ heard it if there was not some communications glitch.
Now I can’t believe my own ears.
