No not a typo. Just met a couple of nice folks just 4 months into a start up. The owner explained that they offer direct to garment and subilation. Kept saying it that way the whole meeting. Was it me? Was I just hearing it wrong? After they left the owner and I had a conversation that went something like this:
Him> What did you think?
Me> I don't know probably nothing could be something
Him> Yeah if only I could get her to pronounce sublimation right. I mean just once.
Even with my bad back I doubled over laughing

That is odd because sublimation rolls off the tongue pretty easy, yet subilation does not roll off the tongue well at all.

rolls off the tongue easily eh? Kinda close to sublingual, which of course, means under the tongue

I knew you knew better, Tony... I wonder about people who can't read or enunciate. In fairness though, sublimation is not an everyday word for someone not in the biz. Sublime maybe, but not sublimation, at least I don't think.

Oh man that reminds me.......ten years ago I had a real ditzy employee that wanted to have a private meeting. She informed me that she was resigning was taking a new job. She said it was her opportunity to obtain a manitioral position (wait, what?) OK so maybe I heard it wrong. But then she went ont to say she had been waiting for years to finally be a manitor. Truly it was a "Did that just happen?"moment. Of course I couldn't resist my impish ways and e-mailed HR that Sally was leaving and was pursing a new career as a manitor. I sat back and waited patiently for the "Do what now?" response which came, as you might expect, in less than thirty seconds.
I had to run with this. I replied that a manitor manages janitorial supplies and equipment including, but nott limited to Lysol, Windex and other amonia based products. On the equipment side duties included managing items such as mops, brooms, squeegees, and in extreme cases vacums. Of course I had to end it on a smarmy note with "I can't believe you did'nt know that"
As you also might expect HR CCd the entire company and the mayhem ensued.
We do like to have fun around here

so did you ever find out what she meant?
-
I can't believe you don't know!
Manager silly. Wonder how that went for her.

Wow, it does sound pantload like the job you said. Why not combine the two.
If you can't pronounce the job, you shouldn't be doing it.

Maybe she meant "Manatee:
