    As my former boss (an accountant) did when writing to a very prim & proper elderly female client. I'm sure he felt like a total count when he realised his mistake..
    Much like Eric Idle all those years ago....
    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right. I saw your advert in the blassified ads.

    Mr. Bounder: The what?

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: In The Times Blassified Ads.

    Mr. Bounder: Ah, The Times Classified Ads.

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right. I'm afraid I have a speech impediment. I can't pronounce the letter B.

    Mr. Bounder: Uh, C.

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Yes, that's right, B. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a sboolboy. I was attacked by a Siamese bat.

    Mr. Bounder: Uh, ah, a Siamese cat.

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: No, a Siamese bat. They're more dangerous.

    Mr. Bounder: Listen, can you say the letter K?

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Oh, yes. Khaki, kettle, Kipling, Khomeini, Kellog's Born Flakes.

    Mr. Bounder: Well, why don't you say the letter K instead of the letter C?

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: What, you mean, pronounce "blassified" with a K?

    Mr. Bounder: Yes, absolutely!

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Klassified!

    Mr. Bounder: Good!

    Mr. Smoketoomuch: Oh, it's very good! I never thought of that before. What a silly bunt.
