OED

I have just discovered that Google, unlike Microsoft, does not have a site license for the Oxford English Dictionary website.

This has occasioned my most significant regret for my decision to join Google.

(That is to say, things are generally going quite well. More on this later, probably.)

On reflection...I misspoke. I actually _did_ want to set up a small amount of tension via ambiguity (what? he doesn't like working for Google?) and then relieve it.

But as for your specific concern, all I really care about, honestly, is that if someone whose opinion I care about says "what's this about you trashing Google because it doesn't provide what would be for you a completely frivolous service?", I can point to this entry and move on.

I've done similar things on tests before. :)
