Slashdot had an interesting article about how poorly Americans write in their corporate e-mails. Very interesting.

Edit: I corrected a capitalization, and proper spelling. ;-)

how poorly americans write in their corporate emails

You mean e-mails? ;-)

When I worked for the publishing company three or so years ago, that was one of the proofing errors I caught most frequently. E-mail, e-commerce...e anything that refers to 'electronic' should have a hyphen after the e. That an Internet and Web should always be capitolized when referring to the World Wide Web, but site and page are not. So Web site or Web page aren't...unless of course they're a title. Oh, and they're two words also. *sigh*

Sorry...that hits on one of my peeves. :-/

Y'know, I was thinking about that -just- today while I was driving home. What's your scheduling look like this week and weekend, and what number can I get ahold of you or your husband at?

Hey, Please get in touch. I would e mail you, but you dont have an addy listed in your bio, and only people on your list can send you text messages.
