Step Away from the Spellcheck
Just because 'peak' rhymes with 'sneak', it doesn't mean you can 'take a sneaky peak'.
There's nothing of that sort on my computer, I can assure you :-) But then there's no downloaded work emails on there either - maybe I should try that.
Maybe 'peak' is used here in the sense of 'reach a climax'. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI shall make sure I never use your computer.
