Sentence: When Sid sent out that message to all his friends, co-workers and relatives about his boss, it was obviously an errmail.

Sid learned that day that if you send out a chablis-mail, you need to follow it with an apology-mail!

After he regained conciousness, Mr. Bill was full of e-comtrition and vowed to never use his e-mail for evil again.

Pronunciation: /bi-weyl'-meyl/

Sentence: Just as Brian accidentally hit the 'send' hotkey on an e-mail addressed to his entire department, he realized that he'd misspelled the name of his boss, Mr. Schmit, leaving out a couple of letters — a most unfortunate typo — and felt that gut-sinking feeling of bewailmail. He was afraid he'd just made an unemployedian slip.

Etymology: bewail - to cry over; lament (from Middle English, biwailen - "become tormented") + [e]mail - correspondence (Old High German, malaha - "wallet, bag")

Pronunciation: ee ree gret mayle

Sentence: Not again, Phil thought. He had sent another eregretmail last night and just realized it when he signed on this morning. They should have designated e-mailers when you were too stupified to know what you were doing...it could well save lives, jobs and relationships! SOmetimes using the recall button worked, but most times it was too late. How does one unsay a word, unwrite a stupid thought and/or unaccuse your girlfriend of infidelity??? Yes, at the very least there should be a 24 hour delay button, which would allow you to think twice about what you are sending out, once you sobered up and/or calmed down! Yes, computers were just too e-motional!!

Etymology: e (referring to electronic or computer activity)& regret (feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about) & e-mail ((computer science) a system of world-wide electronic communication in which a computer user can compose a message at one terminal that is generated at the recipient's terminal when he logs in. Note I had thought e-gretmail, but people would wonder how a tall white bird from the tropical areas could put bad thoughts on its computer!
