My father in law has email address that is about his small dog. He's Scottish and his dog growls a lot. So his address is weegrrrr.

Oh let me tell you the fun of spelling that one over the phone. He's also not the most patient man in the world either :-)

Tell him to be careful. The chinese government might try to re-educate his email address.

The Chinese government has been rounding up Uyghurs (pronounced like we-gir) to reeducate them. And the government really does not like it when people talk about it.

Took me a while admittedly (probably a "me problem") but it's a word play of "Uyghur".
