I did a write up about this sort of misunderstanding in my thesis. I am going to briefly assist the community in understanding the mails above.

While @kiti.chigiri meant the device, (ref: sent from BlackBerry), Mickey meant the location (sent from my roooooooooof)

We need to understand a few things about this message:

a) It's possible that Kiti was doing a test

b) Kiti forgot to include a message/body in the mail

c) And most likely, Kiti has been sending mails using other people's blackberrys (berries?). Therefore, this clearly affirms to the ownership of the said berry.

Now, we learn two things about the Mickey response:

a) It is possible that the roof was very high, or very long. Hence the multiple 'o's in the word roof.

Sending from a normal roof would have been: 'sent from the roof'. Ergo, sending from an extraordinary roof becomes 'sent from my roooooooooof'

b) We also need to note the possessive form of the roof. Mickey therefore owns, or has some claim to, an extraordinary roof. Hence the 'my' roof and not our, their, his, her, its - assuming for instance sending from a dog's roof, etc

Back to my original analysis of the misunderstanding, it's clear to see that the two are not mutually exclusive. It is possible to send from a blackberry (device) from a roof (location). Even big/long/high roofs.

I hope this clarifies the email

And I really shouldn't complain about waste of resources :)
