Etymology
From French, literally learned idiot.
Usage
"I thought of him as a kind of idiot-savant - a man who had flashes of insight and brilliance. And he also had a great spirit." — Dan Harper; Save the Eccentrics; Santa Cruz Sentinel (California); Mar 21, 2004.
"The author, a self-proclaimed idiot savant, explains his motivation for the book on its back cover." — Drawing From Life; National Post (Canada); Mar 2, 2004.

boolean search
what does boolean seach mean?
Boolean searches allow you to combine words and phrases using the words AND, OR, NOT and NEAR (otherwise known as Boolean operators) to limit, widen, or define your search. Most Internet search engines and Web directories default to these Boolean search parameters anyway, but a good Web searcher should know how to use basic Boolean operators.
•The Boolean search operator AND is equal to the "+" symbol.
•The Boolean search operator NOT is equal to the "-" symbol.
•The Boolean search operator OR is the default setting of any search engine; meaning, all search engines will return all the words you type in, automatically.
•The Boolean search operator NEAR is equal to putting a search query in quotes, i.e., "sponge bob squarepants". You're essentially telling the search engine that you want all of these words, in this specific order, or this specific phrase

and her Uncle Bert,and the office of Ross and Bannister's where Lucy works as a secretary.
CHARACTERS
Lucy Beck :She is a young,shy and insecure graduate of secreterial studies.She is
dissatisfied with her current life and is determined to improve it.She
\ obtains a position with Ross and Bannister's,only to find that the position
comes with her chilling secret.
Ghost of Ms. :She was a previous employee of Ross and Bannister's.She is unwilling
to Bloome let go of her position and continous to defend her
post.even after her demise.
Lucy's mother:A housewife who lives a hard life.She has to support her brother.
Uncle Bert :Depends on his sister for support.he is also drunkard.
Harry Bert :Ross and Bannister's handyman. He is an old man who has been working with the company
for years.
Mr Ross :The younger partner of the company.
THEMES.
Possible theme that can in the short story are determination, possessiveness,loyalty loneliness,commitment, the supernatural, and compassion.
DETERMINATION.
Despite the supernatural nature by which Ms.Broome badgers and demoralises lucy , she shows no sign of giving in to her demand. Instead, she is steadfast in defending her position as the secretary .
POSSESIVENESS.
Not even death could part Ms .Broome from what she feels is rightfully hers. She continues to haunt the office through her electronic typewriter.
LOYALTY.
As with her possesiveness towards her job, Ms. Broome was also extremely loyal towards Mr.Bannister. Even after she passed on, her spirit continued in its endeavour to serve her employer.
LONELINESS.
loneliness can be strong influence in a person's lofe . ms broome had no life outside of her office. that made her possesive of her position in the company ; a possesiveness that went beyond the grave.
COMMITMEN.
This attribute can be clearly seen in both lucy and Ms.Broome .Both are extremely commited to their profession.
THE SUPERNATURAL.
it is interesting that such an integral character in the story happens to be an ethereal entity. Yet this theme is rather prominent in the story .
COMPASIION .
this theme holds water especially in the final confrontation between Lucy and Ms Broome , rather it was through compassion and understanding of Ms. Broome's intention.
MORAL VALUES
*Do not judge a person morely through credentials or qualifications.
*We must be comitted and responsible to our vocation or profession.
*Wemust value our family.
