emily != email

I’m a web developer. I spend a lot of time writing code to make web sites work. Sometimes that involves making sign up forms, or newsletter-sending-modules, or I-need-to-change-my-account forms. For example:
First name:
Last name:
Email address:

Plus a bunch of back-end code to actually process that data, etc. Anyway, moral of the story: I type the word “email” a lot. The other day at work, I was filling out a form like the one above, to test it. And in the “first name” field, I was meaning to type “emily” but “email” came out instead.

Bet you guys didn’t consider that when you named me, did you, parentals??
