Fun With Words

Did you know if you pronounce the U in UPS like a Scandinavian "oo", their name becomes Oops which seems pretty on point for a package delivery and mangling service.

I'm also regularly tickled by the smashing of uniformed and uninformed. Also that resign and re-sign mean opposite things while being nearly the same damned word.

While we're on the subject, I strongly dislike when people use whilst instead of while in a failed attempt to seem smarter or British (the same thing to most Americans which is funny as hell because the Brits are just as dumber than dirt as we are).

I might even publish this one since its been sitting in drafts for nearly six years.
