I will again remind you this is how I answer phone calls:
Hello this is Pete, how can I assist you today?

If you do not speak now, the call will terminate.
* I then hang up.

I found lots of websites (¹ ² ³ ⁴) claiming the correct answer is "specced" and only two (Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com) that referred to the punctuated "spec'd", naming it as an alternative to "specced" with the same pronunciation. (Dictionary.com also named "specking" as a second alternative. I found nothing referring solely to "spec'd".)
However, Google Books Ngram Viewer has "spec'd" as the most common printed form until recently. Continuing the trend past 2019, "specced" should now have a narrow lead. In British English books (not shown), it overtook "spec'd" in 1997 and began a commanding lead in 2010.
Google web searches put "specced" at 3.01M results and "spec'd" at 8.69M, though almost all of the hits refer to "Spec-D" headlights. This is one major advantage of the Ngram Viewer, which doesn't trip over differing punctuation types (it shows "spec-d" at a trickle). It might be more fair to compare "specced out" (348k) with "spec'd out" (739k)

Another few trick questions on that form:
"Is this the first time a disability amount has been claimed for yourself, spouse or common-law partner or dependant?" Yes or No
(There is no claim for any of this, so is the answer yes or no? )"
Next
Does CRA already have an approved disability certificate, form T2201, for your spouse or common law partner? Yes or No
(Huh? See above)
Next
Do you choose to claim the disability transfer (if applicable) from your spouse? (Huh again?)

A nontrivial uniform algebra Dirichlet on its maximal ideal space
It is shown that there exists a nontrivial uniform algebra that is Dirichlet on its maximal ideal space and has a dense set of elements that are exponentials. This answers a 64-year-old question of John Wermer and a 16-year-old question of Garth Dales and Joel Feinstein. Our example is P(X) for a certain compact set X in complex Euclidean 2-space ($\mathbb{C}^2$). It is also shown that there exists a logmodular uniform algebra with proper Shilov boundary but with no nontrivial Gleason parts. Th…

Bears have mutual interest with former NFL rushing king
The Chicago Bears are trying to upgrade their offense this offseason, and they could look to a former rushing king as a potential answer. Former seven-year Bears fullback Jason McKie, who now hosts “The Chicago Bears Podcast” for ESPN 1000 in Chicago, spoke on Wednesday’s episode about some of the Bears’ free-agent targets. McKie mentioned Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and said the two sides have “mutual interest.” “I know from his standpoint, Josh would love to be in…

My wife and I are engaged in a game of hide and seek. A few weeks ago I made her some hot chocolate and she commented "I hate that mug". When I asked why she said "Because it has your face on it".
After 45 years of marriage you don't get angry, you get mischievous. On random mornings I place the mug prominently when she reaches for her morning coffee cup. She hides it without saying a word. I find it and put it back where it belongs. Eventually that mug wil…

Observations of Titan's Stratosphere During Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances

Observations of Titan's Stratosphere During Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances
Titan's atmospheric composition and dynamical state have previously been studied over numerous epochs by both ground- and space-based facilities. However, stratospheric measurements remain sparse during Titan's northern summer and fall. The lack of seasonal symmetry in observations of Titan's temperature field and chemical abundances raises questions about the nature of the middle atmosphere's meridional circulation and evolution over Titan's 29-yr seasonal cycle that can only be answered throu…
