Just to clarify for everyone (because I totally misread this the first time):

  Executor - A person officially appointed to carry out your will after you have passed
  
  Executioner - A person officially appointed to carry out your passing

As the executor of my dad's estate, he would have fun with the similar words and call me his ex eh cuter.

Thanks for reminding me of our shared joy of words. :)

R.I.P. Dad.

There have to been fatal mixups regarding this. Maybe not as bad as "inflammable".

I will never not be upset with the world for deciding that flammable and inflammable are synonyms

although in both cases, Trust is very important.
