... for every time someone addressed something to me as Massive Maven instead of Missive Maven, I would be able to send a lot more international letters and postcards.
Oy.
(For the record, I am not massive... I'm pretty darn average.)
I should note that this happens a lot with folks for whom English is not their native language. I guess "missive" is a more obscure word in English... but it's the native English speakers that get me the most! A lot of it comes from Postcrossing... but not all. It usually just makes me laugh!
that does make me laugh, especially when it's non-native english speakers. not as bad as the time my birthday cake said "happy birthday joe"... just one letter difference, but it matters!
Ha! Seriously?!
ReplyDelete"Massive maven" brought Nero Wolfe to mind, for some reason. But you know I'm going to misaddress something to you now. I might even masaddress it.
ReplyDeleteI think I did that when I was learning italic lettering - my A's looked alot like I's! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd what was that story you wrote to me about chasing a passum?
darn vowels!
ReplyDelete... Ouch. I can't believe people wouldn't think twice before writing "massive" to refer to someone.
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should adopt the "massive maven" moniker. It certainly fits ME better than you!
ReplyDeleteHaha. This just makes me laugh. :)

ReplyDeleteHaha! People these days...
ReplyDeleteOh man, do I have a postcard for Massive Maven ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, that made me giggle. I am so careful when I write a letter that I especially make sure the persons name is correct!
