Must be my accent

Posted on September 19, 2019 By admin

Every time – every single time – that I spell my email to someone over the phone in french, they add an ‘A’ at the start of it. Conversation invariably goes like this:

me: mon addresse email est R-G-L-C….
other person: ok, A-R-G-L-C….
me: non, non, il n’y a pas de A

So I got fed up and registered the email address with the typo in it, and now it will automatically forward the wrong email to my correct one, and send an auto-response message:

Quote of the day

"Scum," said Crash, his voice low with resigned menace, "you've bought a leopard, haven't you?"
