shocking spelling from gov email

[crisgal]

i received an email today from the department of education which read:

"Have you defiantly registered on the site, as I can't seam to found you?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
rgggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!

[daffy654]

Maybe someone who has English as a second lanuage? Even so it isn't difficult to use a spellchecker in an email! lol

[squarebear]

i should be in capitals as it is referring to yourself, not a letter of the alphabet.

[askyourgran]

Oh dear missed the job in a call centre I bet.

[squarebear]

"defiantly", "seam" and "found" will pass a spellchecker daffy.

[Whickerman]

you MUST complain about this.

[squarebear]

You're kidding right Whickerman?

[askyourgran]

I would complain, standards are definately slipping there.

[squarebear]

Now I know you are joking :-)

[crisgal]

listen squarebear - it's late, i'm relaxing and usually type in lower case on here, due to the fact that i quite simply can't be @rsed to hit another key!

But - i can assure you that if i worked for the department for education, my spelling, punctuation and grammer would all be perfect.

[Emily Ball]

Or even definitely slipping.

[squarebear]

"grammar" not grammEr.

Sounds to me that the email was a scam. I get loads of them, usually with laughable spelling mistakes.

[crisgal]

ooh, you noticed my deliberate error ;)

It wasn't a scam, it was a reply to my own email.
Just shocking.

[MichaelZZ]

Daffy, Does your spellchecker dictionary include "lanuage" then?

[JonnyBoy12]

We are shocked and appalled at the state of this post's standard of English. If you were writing to a paper then you would make an effort, so why any the less here? Think of this site as an online newspaper, and maybe that will help.
