Silly Mistakes In Letters and Emails?

Bud Wiser · March 28, 2009, 07:31:42 PM

Is it just me or do any of you get silly mistaakes in letters and emails. This week I attended a Scurity Trade Show in City West and on one of the stands I visited I left my card because I was interested in their CCTV cameras. This morning, Saturday, I got an email from "Josephine" in which she apologised for the delay in getting back to me. It ended with the imortal words "so all I ask is that you please bare with me for a few days" !!

I replied immediately telling her that if she was the bird I saw on the stand I would have no problem baring with her at all, for a month if she wanted.

QuoteWhat about this

I am not talking about mistakes on the board, emails and letters. As a matter of fact it pisses me off big time when somone points out typos in posts or an odd spelling mistake.

Anyway, here word for word is the mail the girl sent today, I just deleted her real name.

Dear Customer

Further to your recent visit to our stand at ISEC 2009, we would like to
thank you for taking the opportunity to meet with us.

Due to the large volume of enquiries we will be in touch in due course with
everyone. So please bare with me.

Spell check autocorrect got me good once. One of our head systems guys is called Prashant and we correspond pretty regularly. Auto correct got to his name and instead of mail starting Dear Prashant, i sent one starting Dear Peasant

I don't know if the "imortal" should have been immoral or immortal but I am surprised nobody seen the other few mistakes when ye were at it?

They're all cuddly disney characters around there...

Mickey Mouse even spent some time in the area and got integrated with the local customs
