I left a message for my wife yesterday that read: "Washing my car, back soon."
When I returned, I looked at the note and realized its confusion. It could be read as: "I'm washing my car. I'll be back soon."
Or:
"Washing my car and back soon."
This raises many questions. Would I be washing my back at the same time as I washed my car? Would I just be washing my back, or the rest of my body as well? And how soon? Doesn't the word "soon" look strange if you stare at it too long?
You know what else looks weird if you look at it too long (besides, of course, "weird"). Board. I typed that a ton at work this week, and after looking at it for the millionth time, I had to double check the spelling.
