Peculiar deed wording

Rich Brown brought a deed into our CLSA meeting last night that had the wording "Excepting therefrom that portion in the a single woman corner thereof included in..."
Any thoughts of what/how/why?
Credit goes to Keith Spencer for coming up with the answer for us.

I'm confused. Are you looking for the answer? You mention someone found the answer. Are you throwing this out for us to figure out and then you'll give an answer?

There's no fun in it if I give the answer right away.

I wouldn't have thought of that. I'm sure Jim has it. I was thinking more along the lines of something to do with... oh nevermind.

Yea, autotext replaced "SW" with "a single woman"

Oh my, has autotext been reading craigslist personals?

We speculated at the meeting that it must have been some Title company employee typing, you do see "a single woman" in many deeds (front sheet).

Is this considered a "Least Words Adjustment" . . . . placing the correction at the most likely points of error . . . . .
LOL . . . just kidding . . . . . .

Years ago I was involved in an ALTA survey and it took some time but we figured out why a legal secretary had failed to include an entire page of land description. She replaced it with "Meat and Bones." When we finally located her, we asked her why she did that and she said it all looked the same and why would anyone use so much language. I guess she thought the lunch order had gotten mixed in with the deeds. It removed my client's parking lot from Coastal Condition Permit Conditions.

Scott,

If there was a single Woman at each corner. . . Boundary surveys would be perfect . . . .

Come to think of it "MP" . . ."Meat and Bones" . . . We can train Dogs to "sniff" out corners . . . .

I think we are on to something here . . .

Scott,

I actually did find a single woman corner. 'Filed a record on her and now we have four parcels.

A couple of those parcels have decided to subdivide themselves.
