米国赴任73週目が終了。
beef or chicken? と言えば機内食でおなじみですが、、、
先日、会社のカフェテリアで、鶏肉料理のメニューの列に並んでいると、給仕の人から ブレス or タイ? と聞かれたのです。
タイはよくわからないので無視し、ブレス、つまり breast 胸肉を選んだのですが、タイとは何だったのでしょう？
あとで気づきましたが、タイ thigh 腿、というわけで、もも肉だったのです。
正確な発音はタイではなくて、サイだと思うのですが、タイとしか聞こえませんでした。

It's just too easy to fire off a note from your laptop or smartphone without giving it too much thought.
Email has the immediacy of a telephone call but not the subtle tones that "humanize" a verbal form of communication.
Back in the day people wrote long, discursive letters in longhand.
To make sure my message gets through, I use numbers or bullet points.
I think more people should think twice before sending emails, especially ones they may regret sending later on.
That's especially true if you're tempted to email someone when you've had a few drinks and your judgement is impaired.
Many's the time I've looked at a draft email in the cold light of day and wondered, "What was I thinking?"
