Computers. a programming code that is easy to remember

We have a spreadsheet at work used to store mnemonics. These are three letters to represent a word, so we can use the same letters consistently for the same meaning in lots of different places in code...(e.g. ACCOUNT-NUMBER would be shortened to ACT-NBR).

Anyway, I opened up the spreadsheet the other day, but got distracted, and instead of looking up the word I wanted, looked up MNEMONIC instead. It was only when I got back to my code I realised I didn't actually want MNEMONIC, but obviously it was in my mind as that was the spreadsheet I had opened.....I was a tad surprised to see it in there though

Anyway, I found this funny, everyone I told (well both of them) thought I was just silly.
