My wife was looking over my shoulder the other night as I was reading my e-mail.  She asked what that word (joule - she pronounced it ju-lee) meant.  I corrected her pronunciation and explained.  She floored me when she said she openly wondered if she would get any joules (jewels) for Christmas!!!  ARGH!!!!!!
