    I once sent an email to the President of Engineering to justify tuition reimbursement.

    I told him that my ASS (should have been AAS) has been extremely beneficial to both the company and myself and I would like to take the next step and get my BSME.

    He never responded.

    I got an advanced certificate from the City University of New York (CUNY). I had to write several work emails and fill out several forms to get my workplace to pay for it. The letter Y is next to the letter T on the keyboard. I think you can see where this is going.

    Wallstreetbets has ruined even the regular best regards, and I only use regards now as a subtle insult in professional email signatures now.

      Because it’s not part of my signature?

      It doesn’t mean much but I actually have had people notice that I manually type mine because I use different ones with different people / depending on the situation, so it feels like I actually mean them

  • I actually read that 2 or 3 times wondering why T and G were circled, wondering what was the issue here….then I finally noticed… maybe whomever the email was sent never even noticed!

    Yep, happened to me. But instead of “best regards”, i usually end with simple “regards” which may have made it worse. I immediately followed up with an email profusely apologizing.

    Always write correspondence into either notepad or an email body without a filled in address.

    Friendly reminder that ‘nugget’ is only two minor typos from being quite offensive.
