A NEW FREE app by Crabapple MindMeld helps you navigate the sometimes dizzying world of insensitivity pitfalls for the conversationally unwary. 


“Our studies indicate that the average good citizen spends 46.8 minutes per day deciding whether what they are about to say may offend any of the 1.24 million groups whose feelings are legally recognized as protected,” said Crabapple spokesperson Dr. P.C. Ordye.  “With our new WYM app, that time can be reduced to less than 3 minutes!”


The WYM app works by applying a complex algorithm to the user’s historic thought patterns, as assessed by the standard u-profile function of your OneMind Connection.  When the app senses the potential for imminent insensitive words, it gently redirects your thoughts to the entertainment diversion of your choice, such as a favorite sports team, hobby or celebrity.  Or, users who want to mix it up can simply choose the default to have their thoughts directed to a randomly selected diversion of the day.


As a bonus, the WYM app builds a personalized Sensitivity Profile for each user, which can be used to facilitate job and love partner searches.  Users with a sensitivity score of 9 or higher (on a scale of 1-10) are eligible for Preferred Employee and Preferred Partner status!


“As usual, Crabapple takes the utmost care to protect our users’ privacy,” said Dr. Ordye, “their sensitivity score will only be disclosed at their specific instructions, except to duly authorized local, state, federal and global officials or their private contractors.”


To take advantage of the WYM app, simply dial 666-795-7569-36 on your OneMind Connection and select the “upload me now!” option.
