One should always be careful when writing to me, as I love language and love to play with it.
Got an email from a co-worker:
Thanks [Moose]. Please let me know what's up ogress.
My response:
I have to admit, I got a chuckle when I first read your email because I was sure you hadn't intended to call me a female ogre. ;-)
His response:
You are so correct - it's amazing what happens when you do not read as you type - it was supposed to read "as you progress."
