Hi Chela!Oh, lol! That was a good one. No, in this case, none of the instances of dis were supposed to be this. I have corrected other scanos that I could figure out just from the letters chosen in the scano what it was really meant to be along with the context, but dis was not a dialect or scano for this, this time, anyway.

Dis is mistaken often for this so this could be what it is dissing.

It is not part of a word, because it doesn't make any sense when trying to fit it with any word.One example was a sentence something like, When I returned to the office I disfound blah blah, blah, (whatever the rest of the sentence was). Hey, could "disfound" mean lost? (chuckle)?Sometimes the dis will be three times in succession as this line that I just came across:sure knows her detective novels. I wonder dis dis disI'm just curious. Has anyone come across this curious thing? Is there something about some OCR software that would incert such a thing when it couldn't recognize characters or could it be junk characters?It's certainly not a big deal. It's just an odd little thing. Debby --Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have.
