Re: typos.
Can we just do the "put yourself in their shoes" thing for a moment, and consider that she may be heart-broken by all of this, and typed that note through tears? Have you ever attempted to write a note (typed or hand-written), under extreme stress, pain, or frustration? I know I have. It wasn't pretty.
Please, some compassion.
- shubber 16y agoAs much as I agree with you, if you're writing a public missive about the future of your company, it doesn't make sense to publish the draft, much less the draft you wrote through heartbroken tears. There's a professional context to consider.
- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoParticularly when if you paste the first paragraph (all three and a bit lines of it) into Word it points out the "Id/I'd" error and two other errors (traveling [sic] and hasnt [sic]). Zero skill, knowledge or emotional togetherness required.
- tesseract 16y ago> traveling [sic] I take it you're in the Commonwealth? A US copy of Word shouldn't flag that.
- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoFair point but the other two count. You Americans should get that spell checker bug fixed though. ;-)
- scott_s 16y agoI've written emails during emotional turmoil before, usually related to relationships. I scour those, looking for any instance where what I said could be misinterpreted.
