I was watching a football match on Saturday 11th of this month, Man Utd against Norwich and a tasty opportunity finds it's way to Cristiano Ronaldo's foot. Ronaldo took his foot back and with vigour struck for that ball but alas, his foot only slid past it, not hitting it, missing it fully.
It got my thinking faculty analysing it all. Ronaldo holds a spot for most goals in this world. Also an old star, approaching forty, how could such a star miss a ball in that way? That's that kind of miss you will find mostly among young lads not a guy such as Ronaldo, so how did this occur? Is it that nobody, no human at all can attain 100% in this sport? Is it that nobody is past small slips?
Most probably. Looking at this first Proofofblind post that had a trial at ditching that fifth glyph, I saw that that fifth glyph still found it's way in, @trostparadox also saw it:
I found it funny that a lad could slip in that way, I'm a boss and I'm going to do my own post and show how to boss around this difficult fifth glyph task. I proudly said so in this following shot:
I got my post out too and brought it to a closing in this way with that pimp photo again:
All proud and cocky as you can sight. But alas! To my horror I had a slip too! That fifth glyph snuck in!
And Trost was on hand to point it out again:
Oh no! Cardiac burst! A boss had a slip, how did that occur? How did that fifth glyph waltz in? Oh my! And it got in through a word I could swap and do away with without a blink, child's play stuff! I could simply go for 'fishing around to find what it was all about' or a thousand various options. How could a boss such as I am slip in this way with all my proud and cocky air, such a humiliation! Alas for I'm a fraud, my sight starts racking up moistš¢.
So I'm back with this post to do it right. I'm still your king, bow to my word count. That slip was a stupid slip that got in through a word I could swap without moving a lid. Child's play! It sort of caught your king off guard and just as Ronaldo is still King with his slip up, I'm still King too. Nobody is past small slips now and again, but with this word count and my past sort of slip I'm truly King! Salvation!

*What does certified plagiarism-free mean?
As a result of our plagiarism review, we are confident that this post represents original unpublished creative work.
We are backing that confidence with a 150% curation-reward guarantee.
If you vote for this post and it is found to have been plagiarized (prior to the close of the voting period), we will coordinate efforts to zero out all presumed author rewards. However, that also zeros out all curator rewards. To protect our curators, we will fully reimburse any would-be curation rewards that were zeroed as a result of the plagiarism enforcement, and we will add 50% to it.
This guarantee applies to any curation rewards that would have been worth at least $1 at the time the payout would have occurred. For example, if your upvote was worth $2 in HIVE and $2 in POB, but was zeroed out due to plagiarism-enforcement, then we would reimburse you $1.50 worth of HIVE and $1.50 worth of POB.
