WordGazing: In Which Lill Adjusts Her Freudian Slip

It's time to come clean:

While applying for a job this afternoon, I suddenly worried that I'd written a word on Lull that merely rhymed with the word I'd intended to write. I'd intended to say "The First Great Recession of the 21st Century," but instead wrote "The First Great Repression of the 21st Century."

Oops!

Frankly, I think either one works from the perspective of the jobless. But I wasn't trying to be clever. And I hate making mistakes, so I've replaced the two errant consonants.
