I accidently spelled a guy named Bobby’s name ‘Booby’ in an email once. I also misspelled his last name in the same email. Not a great day for me (it went to like 5 people, including some VPs). Fortunately, we know each other and just had a laugh about it. And, no, I can’t type for shit; I’d be hopeless without spellcheck (which usually doesn’t help with names).
With auto spellcheck so easy and ever present, nobody should ever make a spelking error.
That’s write!
:smack:
I thought you did that on purpose - I was riffing with you!
I added Esprix to my online spellcheckers dicktionary. Never again will I make a spelling error. Never!
I KNOW!! I WAS HITTING THE BALL BACK TO YOU!
I’m sorry. There’s no reason to yell.
This just feels like a fun thread.
I DIDN’T GET THAT!!!
Yeah, this is a fun thread.
If my goddamn boss catches me doing this shit I am in serious trouble.
And by boss I do mean my wife.
Internet. Serious business.
And OpalCat. I saw one of her posts in this thread too.
Maybe we should revive zombie threads around Easter and see how it goes for three days?
OMG that is a fantastic idea. Easter Sunday could be a zombie day. No infractions for reviving the dead.
Oh calm down Mods. It is just an idea.
how pwecious.
Yes! In my case, it’s off by one letter - people always use the more common spelling. I never correct anyone, whether in email, or verbally (over the phone) unless it’s vitally important that my name is spelled correctly or they specifically ask.
However, years ago I finally got annoyed with one of my customers misspelling my name multiple times a day that I (rather passive-aggressively) increased the font size in my email sig, but only on the one letter in my name she kept getting wrong. And I increased it dramatically too - like to 26 when the rest of the type size was 11. Still didn’t help. :smack: In fact, this was probably 4 years ago and she still spells my name incorrectly.
HA! That would be fun!
Me, seeing this thread.
- Holy Fuck! Esprix is back! Awesome!
- Crap, zombie thread. Life sucks.
- Holy Fuck! Esprix is back!
True story, swear to God: when I was a newbie Esprix was one of the first people I noticed on a consistent basis (JillGat was the other). He had like 500-600 posts and I was like, “Man, I’ll NEVER have that many posts. How does he find the time?”
I know! That’s crazy, right?
Would totally be worth a few annoyed mods if we could get **Eve **back for a few days. (She’s not dead, as far as I know, just busy. ) Or Master Wang-Ka of the Christmas Spiders.
I STILL wonder about that. How does anyone make over 600 posts in a year? That’s almost two a day. Where do people find that much free time?
Ain’t you though.
When my last name was Bennet, no one could either spell it or pronounce it. Seriously?
