Okay, seriously folks. Your word processor, email editor, web browser, these all have spell checkers. So there’s no good excuse for any formal communication to contain a mis-spelt word, right?

Please remember that, just because all the words are correctly spelled, this doen’t mean the statement makes sense as written. “You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…” Or, proof your work!

Oh, and if I see one more formal memo go out with “your” in place of “you’re” (and, yes, I realize a formal memo oughtent to have a contraction in it in the first place, but believe it or not I’m not really a stickler for this kind of thing) I think I may make a critical failure of my SAN check.
