Any typist knows that careful typing is essential to lurid prose. Oops! What we meant to say is "lucid prose," but a single mistyped letter changed the meaning entirely. Similarly, there are five typos in the following paragraph, a single mistyped letter in each of five words. Can you restore the paragraph to its original form?

Amy dates men who are brilliant and can't help adoring a man for his brain. When she heard that Ed mailed his MENSA test and will now be admitted, she knew he was the one for her. They're planning to be married and will undoubtedly have a full life together.

Answer:

Amy hates men who are brilliant and can't help adoring a man for his brawn. When she heard that Ed failed his MENSA test and will not be admitted, she knew he was the one for her. They're planning to be married and will undoubtedly have a dull life together.
