Love it. Here's a snippet of the email I just sent someone:

Quote:
My coworker XXX has been having trouble with an ex-boyfriend who won't leave her alone. She forwarded to me an email that he wrote and I almost threw up. "b.c" instead of "because"; "u" instead of "you"; "u'll" instead of "you'll"; "ur" instead of "your". He's 25 years old and this is how he writes. I told XXX she should break off ties with this guy for being stupid.

I sit & watch bank checks zip by on a computer screen all night- you'd be shocked at the literacy level. At least half of them have something incorrect on them...people can't even spell basic words like "thirty". And most of 'em look like they were written by drunk 3-year olds.

Reminds me of my college trivia bowl teammate. He would pay for his Domino's deliveries with checks, & in the memo area would write "massage" (including quotation marks). He's now either a Lutheran minister or just wrapping his divinity training for same.
