ETAOIN SHRDNU

“And a footnote to “.)eatondph 1/8 ador dorador douradora” {Ulysses, 16.1257} should record that “eatondph” is the grope of James Joyce’s memory toward “etaoin”. He was trying for a plausible “line of bitched type” in a newspaper, and it’s one of the few things he didn’t get exactly right.”
