"Unintentional"? ... and they laughed and laughed. Now get back to work.

I remember being a junior coder in a place that prefixed variable names with their type. I had an often-checked boolean (bol) variable that said whether an OCX control was loaded, and feeling grumpy one day I just called it bolOcx. It made me smile each time I saw it, and my co-workers appreciated it too.

When the project was done the client asked to inspect the source code. I like to think they noticed it and saw the funny side of it, but I was definitely nervous handing it over.

I wouldn't take that for granted. When you study English as a foreign language some words are the last you'll learn.

Years ago I worked for a semiconductor company with quite a few east Asian customers. One, from Korea, was a company called "Prix". Naturally, when we pronounced it we said "Pree", ala Français. "No", they said quite definitely, "we're pricks".

Customers, you can't live without them.
