Sadly I noticed the typo then fixed it. Then I saw the funny side myself and reverted the fix ๐Ÿ‘

Yes I went on the site because for some inexplicable reason my email my business account decided it wanted to put my girlfriend's name as my account name (presumably it did this after she logged in her work account not long ago), and now everyone keeps referring to me by my girlfriend's name ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wasn't sure how to turn it back (turns out the outlook app lacks a LOT of features. Who knew?), and one of the search results linked to Microsoft's help page.

Ended up logging in via the browser to fix it. Stupid Microsoft.

Respect to you for reverting the fix to accommodate the funny.

We all have to accommodate the funny. If we didn't laugh at the world, we'd cry. If I can make just one person chuckle per day, it's a good day โค๏ธ

And I'm happy I get to make that comment at 23:59 local time!

This is a lesson I learned both from the webcomic "Bob and George" and, later, TVTropes. In case either of those are unfamiliar to you, I strongly recommend both, with the caveat that either - especially the latter - can be a tremendous time sink.
