I’m sure he’d rather she debriefed him.
Well, if it was me, I’d be happy if she debriefed me. Joe, though, I don’t think he’d be interested.
*ahem* “Asexual” is “not involving sexual activity, feelings, or associations; nonsexual”. “Assexual” is…. I’m not sure, but it feels dirty 😉
Sigh. I’d happily promise to never make another typo in my life–but, let’s face it. I’d either end up breaking that promise or I’d have to die–immediately.
So, I’ll just resolve to do better.
You weren’t the first person to let me know about the mistake, but you were one of the most polite. So thanks, Rex.
And, yes! “Assexual” does seem “dirty.” (And just a little funnier than the real thing.)
Doh! 😀
Yeah, I forgot to say that I hope you leave it in.
