    Cronus, how did you hear about this word?
    I'd suggest asking whoever you heard it from about the spelling, or just not use it in the email at all. Find a way to work around it.

    I've already written the email as I needed to get it out tonight, but I heard it by talking to a Microsoft employee. I didn't think to ask him the spelling about it at the time.

    perhaps you should not talk about something if you have no idea what it is, when you are applying for future employment, as the knowledge is something that will likely be applicable in the near future

    for then you will look quite the fool, oh ho ho dear me yes

    yep,

    if you used that word in the wrong context, or if you're questioned further, you just dug yourself a nice little grave.

    its pretty dumb to put a word in a formal email that may not be a word

    what if the guy asks you what it means

    saying that he too looked it up and couldnt find anything

    and you say you heard one of his employees use it

    and he thinks you are trying to be a wanky suckup by imitating them



    mentioning that it might be spelled wrong is just going to draw attention to it

    I know what the word means. I simply don't know how to spell it and the definition is very long when written out and I'm sure that the person I emailed knows what it is so I wasn't going to use the definition.

    He'll be jailed when he comes back if he does get banned this time, though.

    That's at least more bearable.

    There is an easy way of letting him find out. We just need to bribe Knob with some whiskey or something.

    And you should have used Defender's suggestion; apologizing for possibly mispelling a made up word makes you seem pretty unsure about yourself.

    might as well add a ;) to be safe

    I'll get some Earl Grey tomorrow at work in the afternoon, or maybe just get coffee straight up in the morning.

    a Ponce is a campily effeminate male.

    Our slang is the best.








    Do you guys ever have just plain standard tea over there?
