About my Jose gaffe below...

I posted below, but know most people don't go back or read responses. Anyhow, I don't want anyone to think I'm ignorant or living under a rock. Seriously, I just read it wrong when reading the list quickly. I think I had "Jace" on the brain and thought it was some new trend, as in a shortening of Joseph (like Joe-sse) or something. I don't know where my brain went, but I can assure you I know the name Jose. *headdesk*

I have been having one of those weeks where I've been embarrassed many times, so we'll just add this to the list. I clearly need more sleep.

When I read your reply, I knew immediately you were reading it without the accent on the e. I laughed because that's something I would do without thinking.

This exactly. It reminds me of this time my husband and I were in London, walking along the street, when all of a sudden the sidewalk ends and there's a staircase leading down with a sign that says "Subway." I just looked at him in a panic and said "Well where do we go?! I don't want to go on the subway! I just want to cross the street."

He stared at me blankly, and I didn't understand why he wasn't being more sympathetic. Finally...

Me: Wait... they don't call the train the subway. It would be "Underground" on the sign.
Him: *nod*
Me: So this sign probably means that the path we want continues under the street.
Him: *nod*
Me: And if we go that way, there will be another staircase going up to the other side of the street.
Him: *kissing my forehead* That's my girl.

I work with a guy named Juan. You wouldn't believe the number of people that call looking for Joo-an. I've even fielded a few calls for people looking for Joan.
