Wisdom in accidental spelling

I got an IM at work the other day from a colleague whose remark inadvertently revealed a major aspect of what we in project work put up with:

She said that she wanted to be "mythodical" in her approach to a particular task.

I know it was a simple phonetic mistake, but it was also very telling. I'm convinced that our (as well as your) methodology is rather aptly spelled using the "y" in place of the "e." It all comes down to getting the code working, in the end. No single volume or style of tracking mechanism changes that. The rest is all just different colors of red tape.

It's one of my favorite puns ever, especially since it was unintentionally composed.
