Just caught "genitally" for "genetically"... "90% genitally identical" has a rather different meaning than intended!
It's one of those simply-look-at-Word-and-it-crashes type of days today. It, like me, is probably just too hot. #26DegreesInTheOffice
It's always that moment just as you're hitting the submit button that you spot it, isn't it?! I'll play it safe and courteous, definitely :)

Dissertation season is giving me the breadth of subject knowledge that makes me the ideal next member of your pub quiz team. #amproofreading
