No - they might _write_ that but would _say_ 'Intelesting times' (8-)#
Oh yes - it is worth repeating my favourite 'mistyping' story.
In my Kodak days (urkk over 30 years ago) we had a very unhappy typist.
She spent all her time (pre-computer) typing schedules for KD shipments
on a manual typewriter.
... and retyping 'cos we made mistakes and re-re-typing 'cos she made
mistakes.
On one occasional all mentions of 'Shipping Dates' turned into 'Shitting
Dates' and no-one noticed in the office. I think Rosemary did not last
very ling (8-)#
