I had a great faux par at work today. I sent an email to the whole organisation with the following link to this site on the Tsunami in Japan. Subject for the email -
'Sunami - before and after'
'Epic fail - Tsunami is spelt with a T'
'Spelt is a grain used to make bread - you want spelled'
- Spell check does not work on subject line
- Take a second to look for obvious mistakes in emails before sending to peers and bosses
- Do not reprimand others on spelling unless you know what you are talking about
Faux pas is spelled with an s, not a t.
