Yessss :-)
You know, some english major advertising types take off with this sort
of thing.
English majors are trained to pack in multiple meanings in words, where the
engineer or scientists hate this. Because multiple meanings can cause
confusion
when they want a specific concept and no others.
One time I was at Fry's (Silicon Valley electronics shop) with an old
classmate
who was in town. Saw the guide books for various computer OS's. I said
"I hear that you can be certified for using Windows". He said "How do you
mean that? :-)" "Both ways :-)" (certified insane, or certified as
knowing
how to run windows by Microsoft). My classmate perfers unix.
