My long lost friend once forwarded an email on the a group of Doctors. GPs were notorious for not bothering to respond to emails, even when they were officially marked and responses were required and deadlines given. For example if booking a training session that needed individual work-packs and catering you had to assume 25% more would turn up than had responded.
Anyway, in this email, "Practise" was used where "Practice" would have been correct. How many replies did she get? Shedloads. From GPs she had never heard of before. Many of them terse, some bordering on bloody rude. It was only a minor consolation to her that she's only forwarded the thing, not written it, such was the level of vitriol expressed.

Any Other Business (on an Agenda). Sorry, I thought that was in general usage. I have measured out my life in Minutes it seems.
CD as in Compact Disc. We call those things that go into 'puters CDs whether they have programs or music or photos on them. There might be a better term of course. Or I might just have been a bit acronym heavy and blown your mind
