The spacebar on my dell laptop died, so I emailed dell support to ask for instructions on how to remove it to clean it - guessing that some bit of crud slipped underneath.
To my joy they wanted to simply send me a new one.
Thanks Dell!
However they got a little confused when my cell phone's area code didn't match up with the delivery zip code. Or, at least as one who is still taking English as a primary language, I was left confused after reading the message for the first time.
I think the Customer Service guy in India(?) should have held off on the re-explanation ;-) Unless, s/he get's paid for the word?
For optimal humor, try reading this correspondence in the voice of Mojo-Jojo from the cartoon "The PowerPuff Girls"...

Jason, thank you for providing all the relevant information.
Please note that according to the records available the zip code and the
area code sent by you are not matching with each other. As per the
e-mail sent by you the zip code is 92614 and the area code is 714,
however as per our database the area code should be 949 which is
matching with the zip code. Therefore, I would request you to please
provide the valid zip code and area code so that I can proceed further
with the dispatch.
***Please note that the zip code and the area code should match each
other. Also, please try to provide landline phone number. If you are
providing the cell number please do specify that***
