I knew a girl at college called Holly Berry
I mean, you just wouldn't do that to your kid, would you?

I was once asked by a director in work to setup two email groups
Northern Housing Implementation Team (or [email protected])
Southern Housing Implementation Team (or [email protected])

to save my job I decided to mention the abbreviation might not be the best email address to give to our customers.
