I’d say most people!

Don’t leave anything on a bus.
Don’t slag off your boss in an email.
Don’t forward funny names to colleagues.
Don’t set your password as password, Kate, curry or spellingsaveslives.

Que ? (extra padding to please Discourse)

It was a reference to my spelling/grammar pedantry :slightly_smiling_face: I was implying that might be one of my first thoughts for a password, if I knew nothing about security and data protection.

And when customers get our names wrong, or make funny spelling mistakes…

I know, haha. Once in an old job we had a contact called Gordon Bennett.

The Aussie soldier? (Thanks Wikipedia!)

Now if you had a contact called Gordon Bleu, on the other hand…

My mother worked for the Italian telephone company, she found so many funny names during all her working years.

There was this girl whose name translated to “pink butt”.

Well Rosa is not an uncommon name. I once knew a Barbara Rosa who thought her name sounded like Barbarossa.

It’s not uncommon, but maybe you avoid calling your daughter Rosa if your f*cking surname is “Culetto”.

No, not him. ‘Gordon Bennett!’ is an English expression, equivalent to ‘oh my god!’

You see, I did not know that!

So the Scottish publisher, then? Well, blimey!

I feel like I should do something special for the 1000th post in this thread. I’ll start planning it now. Don’t all suddenly post loads of dreams.

I forgot to write here what I dreamed last night:
I was making some games with paper, scissors, glue, and so on… when suddenly everything vanished: the walls, the table… everything.
And the first thing that crossed my mind, was:
“I have to write this strange thing on the TWP Forum!”
:laughing:
Then I woke up.

By now, this place has become my favourite “listening center” :blush:
