Dear Queenie,
I get a lot of emails from co-workers and a lot of them have spelling errors in them that I’m sure the e-mail program has marked, because it marks any errors that I make so I make sure to correct them before I send the e-mail.
Queenie, why are people so careless? And should I say something to them? If they send this kind of thing to outsiders it makes our company look bad.—Perfectionist
Dear Perfectionist,
I know exactly what you mean! You should see some of the letters and e-mails I receive!
I am sure a person who made an error would be insulted if you pointed it out to him or her. However, if you happen to use the same word in your reply, make sure it is correctly spelled and hope the recipient notices the difference.
