Somebody get me a splinered ruler.
?  What is "splinered"?  A ruler with splines? (1)

Oh yeah...  A spliner, as in a "spline", you know, it's pretty tangental.  A
tengental ruler.  A straight-edge for curves.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

*sigh*  Stupid typing tricks.  The results of a typing of passion.  :-P

I'm sure even the best typist has them, but I've really been indulging lately.
What's the cure, other than using a *shudder* spelling checker?

Oh, didn't think of that one, I thought he missed the "t" and was
going for splintered.  A splintered rular would be mighty painful.  Sharp
little wooden suckers stuck in the skin.  Just be careful how you handle it.

Yep, I do believe Sproat was just missing a 't'.  (among other things)
He was just rambling on in a tangential way.  As he so often does.
