Please Look: Why Your Vocabulary Lessons Really Were Important

This just forwarded to me by a member of the related organization and a recipient of the email. This is real; I didn't have the heart to publish the full ID.

Subject: Meeting Cancelled for today October 2nd
Importance: High

Today's meeting has been cancelled, sorry for any incontinence. We will let you know when the next meeting will be.

Thank You
Vickie

Vickie, I too would feel sorry for any of that. I am wondering, however, where you were seated when you sent the email.

Let's hope things clear up for the November meeting. You can always kick it off with a group Huggie.

Steve,

What crappy way to cancel a meeting! To be so loose with words...sigh.

This is more evidence of our reliance on technology. Oh, spell check will catch my errors. Yes, if you misspell a word, not if you misuse one.

Poor Vickie.

Cheers,

Joe

Or...maybe she knew people would be *pissed* if she cancelled the meeting???

(I know what you're thinking...some of your readers are so gauche...but if you play the straight man, you leave the door open for us lemmings...)

In joy,
Lisa

Joe,

I had the same thought about spell check and how proud she must have been that there were no underlined words before she hit *send.*

Lisa,

Say good night, Gracie.

Baahahaha!! I have some wonderful stories about why spell check is not your friend on my blog. I remind my office's interns of this fact for just this reason. My sister, the English professor, recently saw a resume cover letter saying that the candidate was so sure they would "meet your expectorations." Wow! Are you working for Robitussin or something?

Dear MHP,

I know I can always count on you. In fact, I've noticed that the readers here seem to have no shortage of one-liners. I'm thinking that maybe we should start our own Comedy Central Blog-A-Laugh.

But seriously folks...

Perhaps sis' candidate had just been discharged from the military and was emphasizing the importance of spit-and-polish.
