"I don't know many office managers who would take a punch for somebody"
"I don't think he meant to"
"He clocked him"
"He punched him out?"
"No, clocked"
"Whats a clock"
"Maybe lets do a demonstration"
Apparently "clock" is not the same as "punch." Urban Dictionary says "to hit someone."
Unfortunately the demonstration came to nothing. For the record, I was not a participant in this conversation. Of course I have never used clocked in a sentence though. Yet.

Love it!
My typing was once clocked at something in excess of 100 WPM. Taking accuracy into consideration presents a different picture of reality. I am considering purchase of Dragon 10 that has unbelievable accuracy at dictation and allows you to talk at your normal swpm without making a mistake. The only time you need to correct a word is if it is the first time used and not in its database. There are a few bonifide (spelling?) English words that are not in my regular vocabulary so theoretically I may actually need to make corrections to any one of as many as 1,000,000 words. Actually I shouldn't really need to look up a word very often because the database is presumably quite extensive. For interest's sake, French has approximately 100,000 words. Latin was considered a very word-poor language by Cicero and it has about 100,000 words currently defined. Let me know if someone wants to sell me their disk and license.
