Specific V Pacific

[Popsie3]

AIBU to think that grown adults should know the difference between these two words?, My boss has just asked for that 'Pacific email' instead of Specific.

[KirstyoffEastenders]

Was s/he taking the piss??

[lynniep]

is he 5?

[Alligatorpie]

My mil says it too - drives me nuts!

[Popsie3]

Haha it is a grown man and he was deadly serious!

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Was it an email about the Pacific ocean? If not, please pelt said boss with walnuts.

[Greatdomestic]

i used to have a manager who did this all the time. It was the least of her many faults though

[BeebiesQueen]

if fairness, I actually cant say specific and it always comes out pacific or spfiffic. I do know the diffrence, I just cant say the diffrence

[boredSAHMof4]

you have to think of it as 'pecific not pacific!!

[stargirl1701]

YANBU!

[Nancy66]

Did he say

'Can I get that pacific email from yourself?'

...if so, I think you're within your rights to kill him.

[Happiestinwellybobs]

My old boss used to say this too. YANBU... Surely they are two very different words.

[TiggerWearsATriteSmile]

I had a colleague that said this.
I corrected him so he wouldn't be embarrassed. He then embarrassed himself further by getting completely tongue tied and stumbling over it.

He avoids the word completely now :)

My ears are happy

[FreshLeticia]

And 'burtatoes' for 'potatoes'
It begins with a P FFS!

[LadyMercy]

Pacific is an ocean damnit!

[specialsubject]

'please pelt said boss with walnuts. '

brilliant.

remember that most managers are only there because they are incapable of doing the job.

[MrsMelons]

I was in a training session this week and the woman delivering one of the sessions said 'pacific' about 15 times in an hour instead of 'specific', it really got on my nerves.

I must say I didn't think that it may be something she just couldn't say, I feel quite bad now.

Never ever come across this one. Potatoe's annoys me though.
