Yes. Yes it is. I remember what I was thinking when I typed it. I would share that with you and our readers if it weren’t boring and trivial. So instead of that, this:
Many years ago I was the project manager for the State on a cleanup project. Because the project was located in a designated wetlands area, I had to obtain a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah, Georgia before a contractor could begin work. The application I submitted required me to list all equipment that would be used. I included in the list “wenches” rather than “winches”.
The Corps issued the permit but it came with a Post-it note which read: “You failed to indicate in your application whether the wenches would be pretty or plain. The permit covers both, with one condition: Please notify me by phone on the days when you will have the wenches working onsite.
”
The story you have just read is true. (I hope you found it entertaining.) It illustrates the difference that a single vowel makes.
From the humorous and trivial to the serious and critical -> I direct your attention to my discussion of the Hebrew words
Adonai and
adoni.
Thank you for reading my posts.
