Mediaboss Marketing

CINCINNATI (AP) - A man who says he was charged with disorderly conduct after using the word "crippled" to promote a comedian with muscular dystrophy claims Cincinnati police violated his free speech rights, and the comedian agrees.

Forest Thomer, of Cold Spring, Ky., is to appear in a Cincinnati courtroom on the charge Wednesday. He was cited by Cincinnati police last month at a park after he and comedian Ally Bruener say he asked people if they wanted to "laugh at the crippled girl."

The question was not intended to demean his friend Bruener, but to promote her next comedy show and her allybruener.com website, the two said Monday. Bruener, who is in a wheelchair because of the degenerative muscle disorder, said she would approach people after Thomer asked them the question, tell a joke and talk about her next performance. Thomer also would record some of the public's responses for use on Bruener's website, showing people saying: "I laughed at the crippled girl."

Thomer, 25, was cited May 23 on a disorderly conduct charge alleging that he walked into people and shouted obscenities at them, according to court records. Thomer was asked to stop his behavior but "persisted in yelling and shouting, causing annoyance and alarm to others," according to the complaint in Hamilton County Municipal Court. Thomer could face up to 30 days in jail if convicted of the fourth degree misdemeanor charge, a court official said.

"We were just going up to people and asking the question, said Thomer, who denies all of the allegations.

"You can't just arrest people or have them arrested just because you don't like what they are saying," Thomer said.

Lt. Anthony Carter, a Cincinnati police spokesman, declined to comment. The city prosecutor did not immediately return calls for comment.

Bruener, 23, of Alexandria, Ky., said "people are trying to be too politically correct and force us to be as well."

The idea was to get people's attention and help them "let down their guard a bit," said Bruener, who says she uses her humor to try to remove any stigma from the word "crippled."

Takeaway: You can delete a problematic AutoCorrect entry or you can try this case shuffling trick to have your cake and eat it too.

Words AutoCorrect feature is helpful, most of the time. When users run into a problem, they usually delete the AutoCorrect item. For instance, if you routinely enter TEH, you could delete the AutoCorrect item that corrects TEH to THE-eliminating the problem altogether.

Deleting the item wont always be the right choice, however. The copyright symbol is a good example of an item thats useful, but that can create an unusual problem. Lets suppose you enter the phrase 501(c) a lot. Words AutoCorrect feature automatically replaces (c) with the copyright symbol (). You can press [Ctrl]+Z, but that gets old after awhile. You could delete the AutoCorrect item, but then you cant use it to enter a copyright symbol.

You dont have to choose, but the solution isnt intuitive. The AutoCorrect item will replace the (c) combo whether the c is lower or upper case. By adjusting the existing item to replace only (C), you can keep the AutoCorrect entry and also still enter the literal string (c). To make this change, do the following:

Now you have a reasonable compromise. You can type (c) without triggering the AutoCorrect change, and to enter the copyright symbol, you type (C). You can use the upper/lower case shuffle in most cases where you need to enter an AutoCorrect replace value without triggering AutoCorrect.

If you accidentally delete the actual symbol from the AutoCorrect list, you can re-enter it by holding down the [Alt] key while pressing 0169 on your numeric keyboard. (Press [NumLock] first.)
