How important would you rank such a thing? Usually I'm really good about typos and punctuation, but I accidentally sent "late me know" instead of
"let me know" today and I'm all kinds of embarrassed.

I once wrote 'retards' instead of 'regards'.

No worried it is Monday morning and you probably just need more coffee. That is how I would take it if someone sent me an E-mail with that. The person might be
so foggy themselves that they read it and know what you meant and didn't even recognize it.

You'll probably be kicked out of college for this.

My husband used to work with a guy from Russia who relied heavily on spell check. He once apologized "for the incontinence".

About a year ago - this went out to over 1000 IT people at my company!! I don't think Esmerita works here anymore.
--------------------------------------------------------- Esmerita,
Did you know that you sent this email to hundreds of xxxx employees? This is a completely
inappropriate use of business resources. Many would find the content very offensive.
Her unhappy manager
From: Esmerita Sent: To: Subject: FW: BLACK PANTIES.....
good morning how are you?
Anna had lost her husband almost four years ago. Her daughter was constantly calling her and urging her to get back into the world.
Finally, Anna said she'd go out, but didn't know anyone. Her daughter immediately replied, "Mom! I have someone for you to meet." Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another and
after dating For six weeks, he asked her to join him for a weekend in Vermont. Their First night there, she
undressed as he did. There she stood nude, except For a pair of black lacy panties; he was in
his birthday suit. Looking her over, he asked, "Why the black
panties?" She replied: "My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to
explore, but down there I am still
mourning." He knew he was not getting lucky that night.
The following night was the same, she stood
there wearing the black panties, and he was in his
birthday suit but now he was wearing a
black condom.
She looked at him and asked: "What's with the black condom?" He replied, "I want to offer my deepest condolences"

I once wrote 'retards' instead of 'regards'.Let me guess. You were trying to say you missed your project deadline because of the bunch of regards you work with? |

The worst is the listserv that will autoreply to EVERYONE on the listserv. The danger lies in the original email demanding a response, and giving the response
email address in the text. Then hundreds of people hit reply and we all get hundreds of wonderfully interesting emails such as
I'll be there Sorry, Regis, I can't make it. I've got a chemical peel scheduled (don't tell anyone, okay) WHY ARE WE HAVING ANOTHER MEETING ABOUT THIS!?! Um, everyone, you are replying to everyone Please stop replying to everyone DIE DIE DIE |

Is your resume pink and do you spritz it with just a hint of your perfume before sending it out?

I once wrote a proposal to BP. It wasn't until after the proposal had been sent out, that I realized I'd littered the proposal with "BO"
instead of "BP".
 I even had two different people proof read it, and none of us caught it. Surprisingly enough, we won the job anyway.

the email where an IT person trusted spell check and sent it to the boss about software theat emulated another program, except he misspelled it and took
immolated as the correct choice was pretty good. we bombarded him with pics of people immolating themselves for a while

We just received our audit report where the CPAs wrote deprecation instead of depreciation.
We spent tens of thousands on that audit. You think they could proofread it before sending it out. |
