        True story... I used to work for a Japanese company, and one of the lead developers was called 'Fukui', pronounced "fu-kew-ee", not "f*ck-U-I" which would have been really great, considering the product! :-D

          Went into a shop intending to ask for an extension cable but ended up asking for a wire and staring at the shop assistant who stared back blankly until I realised what I had said. Who knows what I was thinking and come to think of it I can't even remember! :doh:

                    I misspelled Ammendment Actually the spelling error was a few weeks ago. Today was spent replacing every class, reference and text reference under source control with the correct spelling. It really didn't take more than about 10 minutes but man were there a lot of references.

                          Spent way too much time trying to figure out why a function I wrote to do Ajax calls was not returning to the specified callback function. It turns out I was enclosing the name in quotes and passing a string (the name of the function) and not a reference to the actual function. :doh:

                                      I always leave debug = "true". I get better error messages from my error handler if it is set to true. 99% of the time I get the exact line number of code that caused an exception.

                                      I didn't get any requirements for the signature
