most embarrassing thing that has happened to me, ever
Confusing Raymonds Carver and Chandler in an email, in such a way that I look like a complete idiot who has never opened a book by either author. Is it socially acceptable to cop to my mistake, or will that just make me look like an even bigger asshole?
:( :( :(

At least you didn’t confuse William Least Heat Moon with Irving Stone, like my campmate at Yosemite. Look on the bright side.

what i like to do in situations such as these is really lay it on thick how foreign i am. “raymond…carver? chandler? who can remember names when you have a slight accent and a sexy internat’l lifestyle.” it doesn’t work w/ people who know u tho :-/

i have done this too many times. and once confused jeff buckley for christopher buckley, which was an even bigger disaster.
it is totally socially acceptable to cop to your mistake.
