What Are You Playing @?
(I am talking to a woman who wants to send us a contract she wants our client to sign. The name of the law firm is the last names of the partners. Both names are very common.)
Me: “So you want to send it to info@SmithJones.com.”
Woman: “Can you spell that?”
Me: “I-n-f-o-at-s-m-i-t-h-j-o-n-e-s-dot com.”
Woman: “So that’s i-n-f-o-c-h.”
Me: “There’s no CH.”
Woman: “OH! I mean i-n-f-o-and.”
Me: “There’s no “and.” Where did you get “and”?”
Woman: “OH! I can’t read my writing. So it’s i-n-f-o- that email sign thingy – s-m-i-t-h-j-o-n-e-s-period-c-o-m. Right?”
Me: “Yes.”
Woman: “Your e-mail address is hard to figure out.”
(I’m sure she’ll wonder why we are recommending our client not sign the contract.)
