I feel very big and clever.

Is admired. *preen*

I needed that, as I have just been foolish at work.

I took a telephone call, it was about a press release they'd received from us (which I knew nothing about). Trying to direct the call, I asked if there was a name on the bottom of it. "The e-mail address is Kay Bassett," she said. "Kay Bassett? We don't have a Kay Bassett here," I said. I took some more info and found someone for her to talk to.

"Kay Bassett?" I asked the room at large confusedly. "Kay-base-Tee," replied the room - at which point I remembered our main product is named KbaseT.

Doh!

Hee! :)

Well, but it's not *that* bad, really. The caller sent you down the wrong path to start with by reading "KbaseT" as a person's name...

Ohh..! Have a big hug, and a phonetic guide as to how clueless lusers can mispronounce your product names...

Love, MC
