Yesterday, I wrote on twitter: “… eight days in a roll” instead of “… eight days in a row.”

In the past, I also miss-pronounced trackpad as “trackback” or “backpack”. Can you imagine the number of variations there could be?

  • trackpad
  • trackback
  • backtrack
  • backpack
  • backtrack
  • trackpack
  • …
  • and more

velkr0 often picks on me (well, and corrects me). And we would laugh about it. Then I think I learn from our laughters. And next time, when I need to say these words, I will take a deep breath and give it a second thought before I actually move my lips. (Hey, but I can’t guarantee it works all the time!)

But then.. I guess it’s important to be open to criticism, and even being able to laugh over my own mistakes.

So, I laugh, learn, and reflect, therefore I am.
