When I need a dictionary at work.


I think I'm going to need to contact Websters. My lovely group of un-edumacated customers are driving me nuts with their lingo/language/mispelling/back-country English

Here's the first word that I gave a second glance  :   a  re   ( how they wrote it ) they commonly write "are" when it truly should be our.  -- Okay.. that one could be confusing.. soo I'll forgive them on that one.

Here's the next one from this person.. ( I'll give you the whole sentence- because it makes it so much easier )

I would like you to summit by 5/1/14  ( I will assume they are trying to say submit ) but that is where they put nothing. No period, no question mark? No nothing..  I clearly have no idea what they want me to "summit" or "submit"
So next I receive an e-mail from the above persons co-worker.

What would be easier for you in the next?  ( next what?)

Next line is:
Right now I have   ( what )


This is not a good sign for the week to come.... I guess it is just going to be one of those weeks.
