The Letter People - The Word Machine

From episode 46 of "The Letter People" - The Word Machine

Miss O visits her new neighbor Professor Foghorn, who has invented a Word Machine. The Word Machine's purpose is to make sure all the letters in words go by the rules--using the right sounds and so forth. Miss O keeps feeding the Machine words with letters using irregular sounds--and when they don't go through, they run away, upset that the Word Machine won't accept them for what they are.

The Word Machine?? Maybe the WEIRD Machine is more like it!

I'd sure love to see the Word Machine fizzle and explode if Miss O were to put "coward", "cadet", or any other word before the "Silly Bull" came into existence!
