I have a spell checker set up on my email, so whenever I send a email it checks it automatically before sending. As regular readers can attest my spelling is usually pretty bad. It is more a keystroke error than not knowing how to spell and often I am tired and don't proof read.
Such a case was yesterday when after 6 days straight of work and with morning starts at 6.30 and getting up at 5.45 Herr Chops is one pretty tired dude. I did my report yesterday and went to send it when the spell checker queried a word. It turned out to be someone's name and I hit apply and whooshka it sent my report. I then called the poor victim of my stupidity and apologised for the error. They forgave me and said it happens often and they would not have known had I not said anything.
I looked at my email today and I got a email from C2FL asking me to spell people's name correctly. I could not believe that I got an email over what was an fairly obvious error. But that the email that corrected me also had a spelling mistake in it which the spell checker looked like it had fixed.
C2FL did not think it was all that funny when I pointed that little tidbit out. The irony was absolutely dripping and palpable in the air.
Till Next Time Never Rush the Spell Checker,
Chops
