Heh, depending on auto-correct can be risky in another way, when you expect it to flag you but it doesn’t...
At work, I am semi-terrified I am going to send out an email regarding a contentious situation with a non-spell corrected error.
For some reason, because I end every email with “Regards”, one of the most common errors is that my fingers type “Retards”.
I don’t think I have sent one with that yet, but...I always seem to catch it with my finger hovering over the “send” button.
“...one of the most common errors is that my fingers type “Retards”.”
If you were Joe Biden, it would fit.
LOL !!! That just reminded Me of one of My work E-Mail Faux Paw 🐾.
I along with the entire City of xxxxxxxx received a PC E-Mail regarding mudslimes.
I made a very Non-PC comment and thought that I Replied only to the Members of My Department.
I found out the next shift I worked when it started with My Supervisor calling Me into His office to inform Me that I had in fact sent My very Non-PC comment via “REPLY ALL” to the ENTIRE CITY Including the Mayor and H(ighly) R(idicules) Department !
Now My Supervisor was pretty cool with everything but told Me that the “powers that be” were VERY UNHAPPY WITH ME and that they would be CLOSELY MONITORING ALL of My E-Mails sent via City Computers including BOTH Internal and My External Personal E-Mails.
I had already pissed off the H(ighly) R(idicules) Department not long before the E-Mail Faux Paw🐾 I was at a “Training Session” on how to form habits. They told Us (class) that it takes 21 days to form a Habit. Well Our Department had a Schedule different from All others. 12 hours on/off, work 2 shifts On/3 Off then 3 On/2 Off and every Month switching from Days to Night and then back to Nights and Days. So by the H(ighly) R(idicules) Department teachings there’s no way that we could “form a habit”.
Well Me being Me I raised My hand to ask the question of what are We supposed to do with the Shifts We Work ?
They got pissed and called My Supervisor saying that I was “Disruptive”” and being a “Smart Ass” !!!
I told Him that I had asked a legitimate question and they could say what ever they wanted to because they were gonna anyway!!!
I don’t miss the job but do miss most of My excoworkers.
