>Description:

When reading this fortune, one is forced to pause momentarily 
to try and make the given word ("gave") fit the context.  It almost
works, so it takes a milli-second or so longer than necessary to
induce the correct word.  This is detrimental to the overall
effect of the fortune.

The fortune reads as follows,

--
When you are about to do an objective and scientific piece of
investigation of a topic, it is well to gave the answer firmly in hand,
so that you can proceed forthrightly, without being deflected or
swayed, directly to the goal.
		-- Amrom Katz

The typo is on the second line, 9th word.

>How-To-Repeat:

fortune -m forthrightly

>Fix:
	
	Change the `g' in "gave" (on the second line of the fortune) to
`t' or something so that it is obvious that the word is wrong, thus
avoiding the multitudes of milliseconds the reader spends trying to 
make "gave" fit the context.
