Huh?

"Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
--The Princess Bride

The Solipsist received an e-mail at work today. He won't bother you with the actual text, but here's the gist:

"If you need help, I can meet you next Tuesday. If you can't meet on Tuesday because of your busy schedule (pun intended), Wednesday's OK."

Pun intended? Is the Solipsist missing something? Does the writer not know what "pun" means? And if not, what did he MEAN to use?

Perhaps we shouldn't be too hard on the man. He is offering to help. Maybe he's just interested in writing wrongs.

Pun intended.

    ROGER DEBRIS: Ah, Messrs. Bialystock and Bloom, I presume. (laughs) Forgive the pun.

    (Bialystock laughs)

    BLOOM: What pun?

    BIALYSTOCK: Shut up, he thinks he's witty.
