Yeah, certain words need to be handled with caution. I remember when I lived in Perth (Australia) some years ago, a local phone book was published, in which a section called 'Pubic Telephone Booths' was featured. Typos can be a nightmare as well. In Germany, I once worked as an English language copywriter for an international Christian organisation that supported medical and building projects in third world countries. I was responsible for brochures and other publicity material. On one occasion, I had to quickly create some text about a project in Thailand. I merrily typed 'Fucked away in a tiny village in a corner of etc., etc.…' (instead of 'tucked away'). Thank goodness I caught the error just in time. Donna

I've always love words that are closely related but for a little letter switch. Witness "prenatal" and "paternal."
