Questionably Fabulous

Spellcheck can be the enemy if you’re not careful.  Today I received an email addressed to “Anti Christ” which my full name often is corrected to courtesy of spellcheck.  Thanks, this does wonders for my image.  

Seeing this email immediately caused me to recall my worst WOOPSIE DAISY ever, which also was courtesy of spellcheck.  

Let me first put a disclaimer on this whole scenario and say that I am an awful speller, I inherited this fault from my biological father who also cannot spell to save his life.  In 5th grade I spelled sugar s-h-o-o-g-a-r, shoogar, I was told to sound it out and thats exactly what I did…  

Anyway, about a year ago I wrote an apology email to all of my clients because the mass updated I’d sent the day before did not have any attachments…  I said, among other things, that I hoped my mistake hadn’t caused any inconvenience.  But, since I can’t spell worth a shit, I ran spellcheck.  My loyal friend, up to that point, spellcheck and I had a somewhat psychic connection and I’d gotten into the habit of just clicking on “replace” whenever anything was found.  

Thanks to this modern day life saver, I told ALL of my customers that I hoped I hadn’t caused them any incontinence.  Needless to say, I’m a little less trigger happy when it comes to spell check.
