Ooops!

So today I had quite the embarrassing moment! As many of you know, my job requires me to speak either French or Spanish 90% of my time, and so most of the writing I do is also in either language. Because of this, my word editor is mostly set to French. Usually this is not a problem when I type in English because my messages are short; today however, that changed.

A colleague put some papers in my box and sent me an email letting me know he had done so. I ran down to the main office, got the papers out of my box, and went back to the room. My intentions were to reply to his email simply saying: “Got it!”
I didn’t realize until I received his reply that my editor had automatically changed my reply to “Go tit!”

Wow…
