*reads e-mail from customer, curls up under desk* The horror ... THE HORROR! Bad spelling and nonexistent grammar and punctuation all over the place and--*twitchtwitchtwitchwince*

I want my mummy.

Also, bored. Distract me?

I bet this is worse:

I was looking at comments a guy I work with left on a piece of work on the computer system at work. (This is a guy I used to sit next to, but now don't.)

Apart from obvious horrors like 'we said we done it', he actually spelt 'before' as 'befour'. These are comments that get sent down to the servicing team (who presumably laugh at them), and could be sent out to the customers if they ever requested the information we store about them. It was so bad that one guy I was talking to on the phone in our offices in England who was also looking at them commented on the bad grammar, and people never do that because it looks really bad if you're slagging off your colleagues when they do the one-on-one call sessions (you and your manager sit and listen to one of your calls, picked at random).

If you want real eye-sporking, you could always pay attention to American politics, including the absurd tap dance that's going on with the confirmation of the new Supreme Court justice. And yes, I'm almost positive he'll be confirmed, and no, I'm not happy about it.

But hey, lawmakers in Massachusetts rejected the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage!
