Misnomers...Yikes!


* Apologies for the inherent S-expletive above *

Woe, for the lack of sleep and taxing hours took a toll on my brain (or what's left of it) today.

Here's when a memory lapse is mildly amusing :
The philanderer had a harlem (sic) of women.
Incorrect : Harlem - The crucible of black America.
What it should have been : Harem - a group of female partners for one man, er...for fornication purposes.

Here's when a parapraxis would incur the wrath of the recepient :
(Thankfully, I did a double take and did not send out the offensive message. Phew! ) Condolences (sic), Mr A! =)
Incorrect : Condolences
What it should have been : Congratulations

What a smirch that would have been!

Yes, Mich.

It's time to start turning in early.
