Random: The typo as springboard for Regency romance

[nebroadwe]

Yesterday we received the following message from facilities maintenance:

Over the next two hours facilities will be testing the elevators. They will be shutting them down periodically for a few minuets at a time. Then they will be back running for 5 to 10 minuets.

To which I responded:

I think it's sweet that we're giving the elevators dancing lessons. Will they be performing at the Holiday Party?

The facilities manager, a good sport who no doubt got fifty similar emails, wrote back at the end of the maintenance period:

All, the elevators had a nice minuet and now they are back up and running.

I have not yet ridden the elevators since their preparation for entry into the Polite World. Given their chequered history, the results will no doubt prove startling, but at least there won't be waltzing!
