Silliness indeed - surprisingly, this is the first time this has happened. Not bad going! Jennifer - it was only in an email to me, so there was no point changing it - I knew what he meant!

Reminds of my last job where language misunderstandings were a daily occurence. In Italian, the word for law, is 'norma'. Plenty of 'norma' then, in Italy. which no-one adhere's to! Oh silliness.

Amanda - I had a niggling suspicion I knew what he meant, but it just took a while to sink in. Do not be worried! Penfold - I know. You should see the state of the rehearsal hall after the haddock are done with it. Citizen Sane - the thing is, he's French, so he would pronounce them both the same. Carry outs - very amusing. I wonder how he thought that translated? Pilchard - you're right - also snigger worthy. Invictus Solis – yes, it’s a particularly amusing one.

Obviously heard it used in a meeting and thought he'd look smart using it. Like an old manager of mine who used to talk about adding "carry outs" to certain decisions, unaware that the word he was really looking for was "caveat". Both Latin phrases too. The plot thickens. Haddock is indeed a great word, but I would argue that pilchard and sturgeon are better. Or halibut. In fact, most fish names are great. Gudgeon. Salmon. Mackerel. Herring. The list just goes on and on. Brilliant. Obviously heard it used in a meeting and thought he’d look smart using it.

I can't count the times when I have been in a rush and made a mistake that made what I had wrote mean something, very different. Just remember when reading future E-mails from your Boss keep liquids away from the keyboard or you may end up with your drink all over it. :) You just discovered the joy of typos,and interesting spelling error’s.
