Just a Note . . .

If you’re going to chastise someone for their supposed spelling mistakes, please follow these simple instructions -

1. Make sure it was them that actually typed the offending words in question and it was not just a cut-and-paste job.

2. Format your chastising sentence correctly. Having a run-on with improper punctuation will only make you look moronic.

3. Proofread your Out of Office message before you leave for the day because when I see 7 typos in two sentences, I’m going to question whether English is even your first language or if you’re really a hillbilly with a first grade education in disguise. I will then throw it back in your face when a client comes back and starts correcting your Out of Office fuck-ups because you made yourself look like a complete idiot. Then I’ll show everyone and we will laugh at your expense. I will then forward the following video around the office to drive my point home.
