Get the perceptual distortion mug.A mechanism which structurally, physically, or electronically blocks human beings from committing an error.
Walls, locks, and barbed-wire are examples of a structural error-impossibilitator. And the way Web pages are programmed to not allow a user to proceed to the next step until the user types their password, for example, is an example of an electronic error-impossibilitator. Condoms and other pregnancy-prevention devices are also error-impossibilitators. However, some error-impossibilitators are not fool-proof. Parents, teachers, mentors, coaches, personal trainers, security guards or bouncers are not error-impossibilitators because—unless they stand in someone's way—they can only help others prevent errors. Error-impossibilitators are of two types, those that can be circumvented, such as by cutting a barbed wire, and those which cannot be circumvented, such as the wall President Trump offered to build on the U.S.-Mexico border. Note that very few error-impossibilitators are 100% reliable because if someone wants to, they can, for example, dig a tunnel under a wall, as people have done to get to the other side.

In spaceless writing (SW), the article "a" is capitalized and all the letters of the word following it are written in lower-case. Spaceless Writing saves space, time, energy, and money. It's the best writing style to use on "Twitter".
