* Not what I said, nor meant. ** I am not a Journalist, for my written English is horrible and that is why I became an Engineer, BUT: I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night!

1. "Not what I said and not what I meant" is clear and appropriate. 2. I use Twitter informally. 3. I clearly need a room at the Holiday Inn Express.
