    Oh, God, when will this stupid-assed holiday end?

    It would be funny if there were one or two joke stories. But this just ruins the "Slashdot experience" for a day every year. Annoying and funny are not the same thing, editors.

    TeX does this when it's run interactively. If it comes across an error, it tries to fix it; it then dispays the message on the screen, and gives the user several options (they can accept what TeX did, type in a replacement, quit, edit the original file, etc.) It then generates a log file for the user to fix the errors in the original source file.
