About this ebook

In this satirical tale, Mr. Touch-and-go Bullet-head, a pompous newspaper editor, sets out to humiliate a rival publication with a bold editorial. Determined to appear clever, he replaces every letter "o" in his article with the letter "x", believing the audience will grasp the joke and praise his wit. However, the result is a garbled, unreadable mess that turns him into the object of ridicule. Poe uses this absurd premise to mock vanity, editorial pretension, and the perils of sacrificing clarity for cleverness.
