Write This Down

I probably take this way too seriously, but I’m amazed at the way people speak and write these days. I mean, what happened to grammar and the English language?

I’m no wordsmith. But I know how to use f’n spell check.

Oops…”f’n” not in dictionary.

Okay, text messages get a break. They’re limited by the amount of characters, so abbreviations are used.

LOL, OMG…I get that.

But don’t use that same mindset when you’re in a professional setting.

Here’s an auto-reply email I recently received:

Please note my regular hour are Monday through Friday 8 to 5 ET. If this is a bout an additional information letter received please have customers fax the information to XXX-XXX-XXXX.  If Recently declined, please have customers fax most recent paystubs and any agreements that may apply as income.  Other wise I will respond to your request as soon as I return to the office.

Thanks, Murphy Brown.

Then there are the people that make comments on Facebook that lack any hint of intelligence.

This little beauty was written by someone after reading about a friend’s sick baby:

Thanks, Lil’ Wayne.

Baby, write this down. Take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know.
