I got a formal email memo, copied to several senior members of staff,

email, he made the following errors in language usage:

- spelled "a lot" as one word
- used apostrophes for multiple plurals
- didn't put question marks at the end of questions
- didn't capitalize days of the week
- didn't put periods at the end of multiple sentences
- randomly capitalized words that were not pronouns or proper names

Mind you, again, this was a formal email memo, not some quickly-sent
note to one person. I swear, if it was up to me, I'd fire this
person's ass in about two seconds. Wait ... it *is* up to me!

Sweet. I get to demonstrate once again that it's not so much *where*
you got your degree from; it's more so what you learned while you were
there.

Oooooh.....firing someone over grammar mistakes in a memo. You must
be so proud of yourself.
