I said that, but it was taken out of contest.
Welcome my dear, patient, readers.
We're all professionals here. We are all a part of this wonderful technological universe otherwise known as the interweb. (Insert Berenstein Bears and the Spooky Tree 'oooooohhhh'.) Now my lovelies, this interweb can be put to any number of glorious purposes. Possibly the most popular and potentially useful of these innumerable uses is e.mail.
In our professional lives, we email -constantly. We do our best to type emails, review them, and send them off on their merry little way in a timely, yet grammatically correct fashion.
Every now and then, however, something slips through the cracks.
"...but we can't take that for granite..."
"...irregardless.."
"Please note any accommodations your firm may have won..." [Yeah, not commendations, accommodations.]
This blog will be a log of those emails. Not that you, my precious attentive readers, would ever make -and mail- such an egregious array of grammatical/spelling/vernacular errors. But we all have clients, associates, and bosses even - whom we love dearly- but who cannot effectively utilize this wonder of the technological world.
You know the type. The kind who write like they speak - and don't speak so well. Or the ones who just can't spell -and exhibit this lack of skill in unfortunately hysterical places. So please, dig through your email archives, pull the one that had the whole office wheezing after such a hard laugh, and send it along. I promise to black out the offenders names, and any identifying marks.
It is up to us, my wonderful readers, to expose these bastardizers of the english language! No no, i'm kidding. It happens to the best of us -all i'm saying is the best of us catch these blunders before hitting the send button.
