Politis Pointer #1: Email Misspellings
As explained today on DavidPolitis.com, I am now going to use that blog ONLY for personal writings. Anything related to strategic marketing communications is now going to be posted here, including prior writings originally posted on DavidPolitis.com.
So . . . the original post for this Politis Pointer was on June 16, 2006 at DavidPolitis.com. It is re-purposed below virtually as it appeared in its original form.

So I get this unexpected job application yesterday afternoon. No problem; I get ‘em all the time, it just goes with the territory when you own a business.
But here’s what I found in the Subject line: “employment inguiry.”
Seriously! All lower case (which is fine), but the word “inquiry” misspelled as “inguiry?” Wow.
Is this someone you’d want to hire? Me either.
TIP:
If you care about how people preceive you, use the spellchecker in your email program before sending emails. If you really care, proofread the email before sending it too.
