I just received an email from a professional sports organization

[Coventina]

trying to sell me season tickets.

Here's the opening:

Hi COVENTINA​,

Hope your doing well, I wanted to reach out to you as here at P*****x R****g we are kicking off the season on March 12th....

and it ends thusly:

J**h W***s
Business Development Account Executive

Um.....shouldn't an "Executive" know the difference between "your" and "you're?"
In any case, in a professional communication, it is considered more proper to avoid contractions entirely.


My daily gripe about the fall of Civilization....



on edit: I corrected two (2) grammatical errors! Oh, how the mighty have fallen!!

1. Not a big deal to me. Nt

[Coventina]

2. Well, it tells me that person is either sloppy or ignorant.

It does not reflect well on the organization.

[BlackSkimmer]

3. I agree with you 100%.

Grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc, seem to have fallen by the wayside.

[LoisB]

6. Totally agree.

[malaise]

4. +1,000 n/t+

[Skittles]

7. it is disturbing

I mean, seriously, WTF - have these people ever read a book?
