So you did - complete with typo.

Nice one!

BTW, another meaning for "press" is the melée of hand-to-hand fighting in a (sword and shield) battle. So "press charge" might also be:

"the fee set by the melée of fighting men"

also:

"insist on an answer from the filling of the battery"

Or any permutation of the others :-)
